Pixhawk "RC not calibrated" problem

Posted by Shane Becker on February 27, 2017 at 3:28pm

I cannot arm my pixhawk.  I have run through the wizard several times.  When I calibrate the radio, I see movement on all 8 channels.  MY pixhawk is consistently double blinking yellow and the io amber is blinking very fast and the blue is blinking as well.  When I push the throttle low and right, the pixhawk makes a 2 tone noise.  I kept getting inconsistent compasses as well, so I disabled the 2nd compass in mission planner.  I'm using a Taranis and X8R as tx/rx.  Let me know what more I can provide to solve this.

    I looked over my profile settings in taranis and saw that the inputs were set to 50%.  I changed that to 100% and now I can spin the motors!

    I'm using mission planner 1.3.44 and APM:Copter V3.4.5. I disabled the pre arm check and I can get it armed with my taranis (thr, down and right).  The big button is green but I can't get the motors to spin.

    What version firmware do you use ?

    Try to play with arming parameter. you can try to set arming check to 0 to do arm.

    What type of vehicle?, The wizard really isn't good for calibration. You should do the calibrations manually. You also should seek assistance from the folks who design the software in Pixhawk.
