Kiss FC, arming switch all set, in the data output tab, channel 5 / aux 1 does change value when i flick the switch on my taranis, but on the right side it never says " armed" it stays on disarmed.
Any idea where that can come from?
Setup:
Kiss FC / XSR RX / Taranis ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 47 Threads: 24 Likes Received: 6 in 6 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Oct 2016 Reputation: 0 what is your min thro reading in radio tab if over 1070 use sub trim bring to 1000 see if arms if so go in radio menu and set endpoints • Posts: 69 Threads: 27 Likes Received: 11 in 7 posts Likes Given: 1 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 3 *Solved* : The issue was my brand new Kiss FC was not activated and wont acitvate with the serial number, sent a mail to flyduino and checking with the shop owner i bought it from, is an issue with the new batch of FC's he just got.

Normally this runs in the background of kissFC configurator, you won't even notice it if it works right.  PS: flyduino unlocks it for you, he just had to send them his FC's SN manually, if i understood that right.

That's why I don't understand why people are buying KISS FC from flyduino and flash Betaflight.. It's like you buy a Mac, then you fire up Windows emulator and never use Mac OS again... haha Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 09-Mar-2017, 07:57 PM (This post was last modified: 09-Mar-2017, 07:58 PM by sloscotty.)

(are they really *that* nice?) I can only speak for my own experience with kiss FC's... in short terms: A) i appreciated the "keep it super simple" aspect at first - but after their initial release they quickly followed up with countless updates for both FC firmware and configurator... not what i wanted, not what i bought it for.  B) it's more difficult to set up your quad just right imho (less options than betaflight, no integrated log flash memory), but IF you get it right then it's really AWESOME - feels much more reliable on the sticks than anything else.  • |
