Hi All:
I'm new here and apologize if this has been addressed - please refer me to articles etc. I recently bought all the stuff to build a quadcopter, and decided on the HKPilot mega 2.5 board. I've installed the misson planner, it loaded the firmware for the quad, set the basic settings etc. When I power up, the board continues to beep fast with the motors twitching (twerking?) to the beep. I have done both the automatic and the manual esc calibration. When this beeping is taking place, I can't arm or disarm...nothing works. The only way I can control the motors is to power up with my radio set to full throttle, wait for three beeps, power off, then power up again, wait for two beeps then throttle down. Then I can control the motors with my radio.....but.....when I throttle up and lift the quad and start rotating, the gyros aren't kicking in and compensating by changing motor speed. It almost seems as if I've done the calibration, but it needs to be saved somehow. I have a Spektrum Dx6i radio, Turnigy Plush 30a esc's, and I believe they are Turnigy 960kv outrunner motors. I'd love to get out flying but I can't get past this. Any help would be humongously appreciated.
Thanks again,
Alex
