Starting to do the electronics on the mini-quad, i cant get the Naze board to arm?

I am bound to it and connected the first esc and motor to check direction, but get nothing?

Any suggestions?
cheers

Put some bullets in it :chickendance:

Not having a Nase myself, I cant help, other than on my Open pilot board, when plugged into the computer it disarms.
It can only be re armed by ticking a box before disconnecting.

The program baseflight is very good and user friendly even for me:) It is the Full Naze32 and everything looks ok, just cant arm it? The board and motor beeps, the rotor twitches, then i cant arm it, which it throttle down and full right?

You must calibrate the accelerometers first. :)
Also it must be reasonably level to arm.

With full board you may need compass calibration and GPS also.

Have you updated the firmware?

Make sure baseflight configurator is fully up to date, I think it auto updates.
Mine is 10.06.2014 - 0.54.
Turn off auto connect or plug it in and disconnect.
I am not at home at the moment but this should be enough to get you going.
You should see a button firmware flasher, click it.
Now click load firmware online.
Then click flash firmware.
You should see a progress bar, then you are done.

Now go recheck all your settings as I think the update wipes some out. :)

Also try putting your minimum Throttle setting to "1140" in the Initial Setup tab, that may help...
That is if it is not set there already.

Well i sent the Naze 32 back and got a reply from the supplier:) Unfortunately i was correct that port 2 was faulty:( he tried to repair it but with no luck. I was offered everything from a refund to new different board to replacement:)

Good service, so i have opted for the same board the Full Naze 32,which is not in stock so another week or so before my mini-quad lives:(

If there is a prize for bad luck with anything in this hobby, i am WORLD CHAMPION:)

Why did you go with the full Nase Graham? For a mini, surely you only need the basic one?

Cool. I'm playing with some new features on my Open Pilot CC3D.
Really nice. I will explain more on my thread after my first few flights.
And now they are only 37 euros i think from Hobby King.

If you think the Nase software is easy, you will be shocked by the Open Pilot. Its a doddle.
You can download the software for free and check it out.

The Naze32 acro is more than adequate for a mini.
There is very little room to add any extras and altitude hold and heading hold just add more complexity to the setup.
Any weight weight you can shave adds to flight time and performance.
Having said that there is nothing stopping you from using it like an acro board. :)
