Thanks guys
had gone through the sidewinder pre arm safety check
it shows geo fencing breach. double clicking it open where i disconnected gpshdop
the HUD wind still shows geo fence disarmed ??
moreover on opening new window the gpshdop still show tick mark even if it removed
please hep
jj

hi guys
the red light remaind steady after arming o also the blue light
but still the Hud window shows disarmed??
thanks

Post some screenshots of MP. In which flight mode are you arming the copter?

esc calibration done?
acclerometer calibration done?
compass calibration done?
these 3 steps are essential, unless you do these correctly you cant arm the quad.

esc calibration does any one have a link of

thanks

nb searched on net by the way i dont have esc programming card

use this link for calibrating
but the long beep did not sound

arming again did not help.

ESC calibration didn't happen properly. There are number of videos on youtube which shows how to do it.


If you do it correctly the motors will spin when you raise the throttle stick right after the calibration procedure.

i think i fried the fapm
in the bargain of calibrating i did a small mistake i connected the lipo when the when it was still connected to the pc
ried it again after removing he lipo and usb now only green lights up?
any solution please

the apm is ok , i had reset the board,
had to load everything again,
did the esc calibration
the following problem exists:
1) hud window shows geofence disarmed : doubled clicked the lower left values opening window disengage the gpshdop
    that must be giving the red indicator to flicker.
2) the usb calibration on 100% throttle gives the necessary blip but on powering down does not give beep and pushing the trottle motors don't work as per video guide.

I am awaiting for solution or scarp this project.

what are the min & max pwm values on the throttle channel? you can see this in mission planner radio calibration screen.

also check if throttle cut is enabled in your tx (i have no idea about avionic tx menu, pls refer the manual)

check the channel assignment in your tx and verify in MP...i guess this problem is something to do with your tx settings...

thanks panivyas
tried the method and i feel although the Hud window does give geofence disarmed
the main problem is with the tx ....i tried with trial and error the sub trims ( H/L from 1 to 5)and the the travel adjust from 100%+/- 20 ( H to L).... the esc were dismantled and i individually tried to arm using just throttle input in Rx (ch 3), on full throttle the beeps went on but on lowering the throttle no beeps.... so its the tx all them while,  i presume? ......
Any solution?
