Naze32, DX6, Cleanflight: Stick movement won't register

[Grateful Ted]

Hello all. I am using a Naze32 Acro board with the DX6, cleanflight and a spektrum 6 channel AR610 receiver for a Flitetest Versacopter. I followed all of the directions on the build videos. I flashed the board with the latest firmware. This procedure worked and when I tilt the board the graphic image moves on Cleanflight. When I go to receiver tab, the aux switches register movement of the bars -- so I know the receiver is bound. The problem is that the sticks (thr, ail, rudder, ele) do not register on the receiver tab. Anyway, I have tried all combinations of settings but just can't get it to work. Please advise if you have been successful with Naze32, Cleanflight and DX6. I am new to this but have searched many forums and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks so much!

edit: FYI, I am able to control the motors through Cleanflight.

Do you have a picture of how the RX is connected to the Naze? Also how do the bars look in the receiver tab. Are they centered near 1500 or are some low and some high.

 

[Grateful Ted]

Colors of wires vary from one harness to the next. I'll number them from pins in the board. 1-5 top row, 6-10 bottom row.

when board is plugged into computer, blue light is solid, green light flashes.

Pin# 1 to receiver thr ground
#2 to rx thr power
#3 to rx thr signal
#4 to rx ail signal
#5 to rx ele signal
#6 to rx rud signal
#7 to rx geear signal
#8 to rx aux1 signal
#9 & #10 not used

Receiver Tab: all bars are centered at 1500 with the exception of throttle which is at 885. Only aux bars move when I flip corresponding switches.

Update

I took it to the local hobby shop and stumped a couple of folks there. They suggested that I use a satellite rx (Spektrum) instead of the AR610. He soldered the power wire to the board and plugged in the other two pins and it worked. If anyone is interested I will upload a photo. I am still interested to know whether it is possible to use an AR610 and DX6 with the Naze32 Acro. Please let us know if you were able to make it work.

I've got an AR600 with my NAZE32. Cleanflight shows all proper responses on Receiver tab (including throttle). Motor tab runs motors. Throttle input from DX9 does not move motors. What am I doing wrong?

Good to hear you got a functioning setup. Sorry I could not help very much. Using a sat RX is nice, but like you are, I am still curious as to why the AR610 was not working properly.

Are you arming the motors with full down and to the left on the left stick (mode 2)?

 

[Brownlensman]

Yes, I try to arm using full left rudder (down left) and nothing.

 

[Snarls]

Ok what is the value you have for throttle at its lowest position, and what are your values for minthrottle and mincommand. Also try arming by doing down and to the right, but with a little bit more up on the throttle.

 

[Brownlensman]

Thanks. I got it. I had reversed the roll channel so I needed to go down and right (not left). Thanks a bunch!

I have the same problem.

Tell me exactly what you did to overcome the problem where you couldn't get stick movements to show up in cleanflight.

I ditched the receiver and bought a Spektrum satellite RX.

I am using the Spektrum AR7700, it PPM and it works well once i figured out it needed to be soldered to port 4 on the NAZE32 Rev 6

TexasTeacher, could you post a photo of what you had to solder to where? That would be so helpful to other folks!

Here is the link to My build. Scroll down till you see the Naze32

The first is the negative, second is the positive, three wire is the PPM from the AR7700

Could you please upload some photos (as I have the same problem). Need to get a sat RX

 

[TexasTeacher]

Sandman_19 If you look in my thread i have pics of what i did
