Nick,
Don't take this the wrong way, but theyre's a lot of brands of "nothing".
Where are you getting held up in the process?
From what I read form your post I'm assuming:
- you've wired the receiver and ESCs to the KK2 board, you've got power and lights on the board and receiver.
- you've run the receiver test and everything on your receiver is 0 when neutral and moves the right directions, the same amount, and near 100 when you move the stick.
- you've selected/double checked the motor layouts
- you've followed *carefully* the KK2 ESC Calibration procedure:
* plug in all 4 motors, and REMOVE the props
* turn on your TX, move throttle to max
* hold button 1 and 4 -- continue holding untill the procedure is finished
* plug in the power (could just disconnect M1, plug in power then while your holding the buttons, plug in M1)
* wait for the ESC's for two sets of beeps (first is bootup, second is starte ESC calibration)
* move throttle down to the bottom, and wait for ESCs to beep again -- you're finally done, you can let go now.
- you've armed the motors w/o props and slowly spun them up to check for operation and turn direction (swap two of the three leads to reverse it)
Now if yo've done *all* that it might not fly well (or at all), but it won't do nothing. If you don't see anything missing yet, few more details can help.
