Flysky fs i6 transmitter trouble arming quad

automan4025 · Apr 30, 2018

I have the fkysky i6 transmitter and the x6b receiver and have my setting right in betaflight and think my transmitter setting are right. I watched a couple bartwell videos and had a fpv friend try to assist over a video chat but still cant get it to arm. Does anyone have and idea what it might be?

Are you getting at least 1000 or lower in the receiver tab when the throttle is down?

Yes I'm at 950 with the Throttle Down. Yeah this is my first build and I'm getting a little bit frustrated with this lol

I feel yea, mine was doing the same thing different tx though. Um, obviously you turned throttle minimums to at least 950 also right?

Ya dropped to 950 but know luck i just have to keep trying. I'll get it to arm one day lol.

What about the throttle minimum though, you unless your min is also 950, you should set that to at least 955 while you throttle end point is at 950

What switch settings did you specify for arming? Do you get responses from stick movements in your receiver mode display? When you try to arm motors, does the LED on your FC turn on solid or stay blinking (should stay on solid if getting proper arming from receiver)? Also, have you calibrated your accelerometers while the quad is on a level surface, and cailbrated the ESCs/ motors? All those will affect the motor arming.
