Have you tried arming it when it's not connected to betaflight? What I was expecting to see for a video to diagnose was DVR footage from the goggles.
Yes the only reason why i was arming like this was to show the error code but when arming the exact thing happens and flashes 4 time giving the error or BADRX

So, this is interesting because you are getting input from the RX, but the protocol is wrong. I think so because the switch effects the ARM (so it's bound)

I too am not sure what's going on, but if you want to stick with it we'll keep trying. @HighTechPauper has a point about buying your way out of problems. I was really down on that for a while, and felt like I was "getting bad luck" in the hobby, or even losing faith in the product manufacturers. It's just a lot harder to asses issues when you're just starting out, and a single rig is all you have. One of us would just start swapping parts around and trying things until we could deduce the problem. I recognize that's a lot harder (or impossible) when you've got the minimum viable kit to fly.
The hard part to say is that controller is a bit outdated, and to get a current one would cost around $150 or so. I know it's a lot of scratch, but it's worth it for sure if you have any intention to stick with FPV.

Those are all great guesses @rtkDarling, but I think it might be something much simpler, if we figure it out I will post and let you know.
Yeah bought this just to see weather i want to get into fpv my plan was to just try the hobby out with this drone than upgrade the drone or build a new one from scratch but i still have a bit of hope yet and buying new hardware will be the last result
Hi I have been struggling with the same problem and I was wondering if anyone could help I have set up all my switches and mixers on my controller and tested it on beta flight but the switch will not arm the drone or appear on beta flight I will attach some pictures below if anyone can help
