is the TX working properly? checked receiver tab for channel values yet?

Throttle not reliably low enough?

Other than that... FC CPU usage?

Yup, looks like throttle is above min. Thats on raceflight right? I found it more picky on min throttle settings than betaflight.

please note that it arms without any changes in the configuration, you have seen i've flipped the arm switch few times, no reaction... then it armed (and i had a small hearth attack), yes this is on raceflight... if it changes anything for your guessing Tongue

Then check receiver tab as Oscar suggested. You may have throttle jumping by 1-2us and theoretically it can refuse to arm. You'll have to fiddle with min_command and min_throttle

Didn't realize this was a guessing game Big Grin

Your throttle trim (on TX) was up a bit?  (You were hiding that with your hand...Smile

trims were not touched and had no impact on arming Smile

yup kind of a mindcheck - based on limited amount of information deducting what could be the root cause

More important question is - why are the ESCs playing initializing tone twice?


EDIT: aaah guessing game! I think solar flares have affected the time continuum. When you flipped the switch for the first time, it armed. Just a few seconds later. Following switch flips were just a coincidence. Just like your heart attack Big Grin

In both videos, it only armed after you moved the switch all the way down, then up, then down to middle position. So something is turned on (or off) when you go to the bottom that allows it to arm on next switch to the middle. (What that would be I have no idea....)

this switch is 3 pos:
1. Disarm
2. Arm (airmode, skitzo etc)
3. Arm (airmode, skitzo etc) + Blackbox

however... i can remap it to 2 pos and the behavior will not change...

the double initialization as its origin is not clear to me why... has no impact on the "house flying" so far.

@Konrad, i like the creative approach... but not, it is much simplier than quantum physics Tongue
