ArduPilotMega (APM): Can't arm via remote and once armed I can't take off

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:26:02 -0700

If I'm connected to the apm 2.8 via usb I can arm via my remote, but if I'm not connected the motors will not arm. Also once armed and disconnected from the computer, the quad will not take off. I have switched the propellers, synced the escs, what can I do to remedy this?

Pixhawk: pixhawk will not arm

Sat, 22 Jul 2017 07:07:46 -0700

I have a pixhawk that i was hovering one day when it just took off and hit a tree and fell about 10 foot to the street upside down, broke the GPS mask off and now the pixhawk want arm and the GPS seems to be off a little.

The pixhawk worked great before this happened, i think it took off because i did not have the latest firm ware on it.

I am not good at setting this thing up so i have no idea how to check it to see what is wrong.

Also the pixhawk was inside the quad so it did not come in contact with the street.

anyone out there know how to check and repair this flight controller?
