hi my board wont arm after a nasty crash, the Accelerometer seems dead i tried to disable it with the "set acc_hardware=none" command but for some reason it wont let me arm.
i have checked my radio is inside the ranges, and i have set the "set small_angle=180" as suggested by someone so that i would be able to arm at any angle.
am i missing something, or did the flightcontroller die?

sorry for the newbie question : )

Dont be sorry friend! These guys love to help and acknowledged the fact that we all start at the same place! Unfortunately I too am noob status when it comes to this lol. So I'm going to learn with you
I'm sure one of the many experts will be along shortly with a shiny gem of advice!

You say it won't arm.....you sure you've got power to the board?  If you know there is power to it, does it beep three times when you set it on a level surface (indicates the gyro has calibrated)?

there is power, i can run the motors from the tab, and everything seems to work as it used to telemetry etc. i dont have a beeper on it, the green led keeps blinking indicating it  hasent calibrated? dunno.

Could it be the gyro is broken? If it can't initialize properly, you can't arm i think.

Not sure there is a command to run gyro test from CLI... ?

Does the receiver tab in Clean/BetaFlight indicate proper motion and range when you move your sticks? You might also try to arm with failsafe disabled. For some reason, I am suspecting a receiver problem.

yep sticks move fine and range is also within range, havent tried without failsafe.

okay gyro seems dead, in the sensor tab the gyro just flatlines

That means your gyro is probably dead. You can try smacking the board against a table, maybe that makes it work again (no kidding, that fixed my phone's gyro)
