Spektrum DX6i not properly connecting to Naze32 through Cleanflight

Hello all,

This is my first build, a QAV250. I am using a friend's DX6i in order to save money for the time being. I purchased an OrangeRx r615x to go with it. The naze32 came in the mail today and I have been following along with Flite Test's Naze32 video. I have done the accelerometer calibration and calibrated my ESCs. I have set my throttle minimum. Now, when I look at the receiver tab in Cleanflight, only my throttle moves when I move the sticks. The pitch, roll, and yaw are constant at 1500, no matter what I move the sticks. I for the life of me can not figure out what I need to do. This is my first time using the DX6i, Naze32, and Cleanflight. So I'm going into this blind. I really want to try to fly before it gets dark tonight.

Current settings:

RX_PARALLEL_PWM
SPEKTRUM1024

Also, I need help arming the quad. When I push the left stick down and right the red LED stays lit.

Please help! I want to get in the air so bad. And I feel like I'm so close.

Make sure you have your channels set properly. Also make sure they are plugged into the right spot on the naze board. As for the arming and the red light if you're not seeing the channels move it won't arm and the red light is on because you have a mode turned on.

Okay, so i unplugged cables 2,3,4. I plugged the main cable into batt/bind port on r615x. I then set Cleanflight to use PPM.
This gave me control over throttle, pitch, yaw, roll, and my aux. But, the main 4 are mis-matched. Throttle on the controller is now pitch. Yaw: pushing left makes the bar go right, vice versa. Pitch on controller moves roll on cleanflight. Roll on the stick moves the throttle on the cleanflight display bar.

I'm not 100% sure, but I am under the impression Spektrum is AETR by default.

If you have control set as:

TAER but instead, need:
AETR

Throttle will give you pitch/elevator, Elevator will give you roll/aileron, and aileron will give you throttle. Rudder is the same in both schemes.
