I built a drone with Arduino. I calibrated the Imu with the multiwii software and I checked if the commands from the flysky fs-i6 receiver were read by the multiwii software, this happened because the values changed according to the commands on the transmitter, so the remote control was well connected. then I calibrated the esc by unchecking // define ESC_CALIB ... from the multiwii config.h file, I had confirmation of the calibration thanks to the noise they generated. then I put the "//" back to try to arm the motors through the remote control but nothing happens, help me
Please supply more information. For example, "nothing happens" is not very informative.
How? If you are using stick gestures
- make sure you configured the software for that
- make sure your remote values qualify at the extreme positions as gestural inputs
I could add “make sure you doing it right”, as I have seen some ppl really struggle to do a simple two stick gesture.
You could also move arming to a switch on some channel… I do not know many pilots that use gestures exclusively for arming or at all really.*
OR are you neglecting or have not configured any means to be informed about why the quadcopter might not arm? You may be telling it to, it may be saying NO.
These are safety issues, google for the seven major reasons a quadcopter might refuse to arm.
*DJI quadcopters don’t count even if they do outnumber.

how do I tell him to arm the motors using a particular channel
Arming is just a mode. It can be assigned to a switch in the configuration GUI.
