388 27-Jun-2017, 11:55 PM (This post was last modified: 27-Jun-2017, 11:59 PM by voodoo614.) In CLI you can type "get small_angle" and it should spit out a value. Usually 25. Small angle is degrees that FC will allow arming if it is not level. You can change it to 180, and it will arm regardless of angle.
Are you sure all your stick movements corresponds properly in the receiver tab? And in the mode tab, does the arm slider highlight when you flip your arm switch?
Maybe you can post your dump file.
Edit :
You receiver tab show throttle at 1276. Is this zero throttle for you? If so, the FC will not arm. It needs to be below 1000. Did you fix that?

0 I actually had it set to 1001/1000. Also, I did manage to get the arm slider to highlight when i flipped the arm switch to the correct range. But, not anymore. I also managed to get the the motors to spin through the transmitter. That was done by messing around with the minimum throttle. But not all 4 motors were spinning at the same rate. I'm guessing that had something to do with the angle of the drone? All stick movements do correspond properly. I currently have the Pitch Roll and Yaw set to 1500. And all 4 Aux and Throttle set to 1000. All 8 channels are set through the transmitter.

388 You will probably have to calibrate the ESC.
There are plenty of video. But here is the quick summary.
Props off! Go to motor tab. Click on motor test mode. "I understand the risk....."
Push the master slider all the way up, plug in battery. You will hear a melody. Then pull the slider all the way down. You will hear another melody. Test each motor that they spins up.

388 As far as arm mode slider, betaflight configurator acts funny sometimes. You might try deleting the arm slider and add it back again. Sometimes the mode settings do not save.
