Cannot Calibrate ESCs and Spin Motors Using Transmitter or MP

@jax200 Thank you for the reply, being a noob i just have a few questions.

  1. How would i go about verifying the transmitter sw setup as you mentioned? As when i go into the settings on the transmitter (as shown in the video also) there are many options and I am not sure what they mean :frowning: . I cant seem to find videos online that explain the correct setup for the FS-i6x transmitter with the X6B Receiver. Can you kindly assist in telling me what settings i should be setting on the transmitter and which port should i use on the X6B (PPM or i-BUS)?

  2. I pushed the safety switch after the first battery connection as the video in the drone dojo course does the same. Will it be fine if i removed the safety switch completely and then try again?

  3. When you say calibrate the radios with MP do you mean i should go to ESC calibration section in MP or the Radio Calibration section in MP? sorry if this is a stupid question but since i am a beginner i just want to make sure.

  4. When i power up MP and connect the pixhawk to the computer using USB wire i can see the GPS working correctly on the right and on the left it says “PreArm: Motors: Check frame class and type”. Using MP going to the Motor Test and selecting Test Motor A or any other options i get an error “Command was denied by the autopilot”. How should i proceed?

  5. I am not using a smoke stopper however i have noticed i have one provided. Where should i plug this in exactly as it has four ports?

Again thank you so much for the assistance. looking forward to your reply.
