Seems like arming while in any enabled FS condition should be disallowed somehow…I hate powering up my plane to check something like the OSD layout, or connect to GCS to mod a param quickly and have it start the motor because I forgot to turn on the RC…
I was happy to see an arming feature added that I could use to prevent this (unfortunately I cannot use this becuase Ican never arm it with the TX because I use throttle failsafe and arming with rudder and low throttle doesnt work when that is enabled), but for safety, I would have thought that any arming would be prevented if in a FS condition (Thr, Mode, GCS, or low voltage)

@hwurzburg,
You can configure a set of checks you want to pass for arming to be allowed using the ARMING_CHECK parameter. See the documentation here.
Michael is working on a full wiki page on tne new arming features as well. It should be ready in a few days.

I dont’ think he mean the pre-arm checks, but actual failsafe. to me it sounds like he did set FS_THR_VALUE too high, trigging RTL when throttle is in low/arming position.
Solution would be to correctly program the receiver failsafe to output an lower PWM than otherwise is output by stick in low position.
that is exactly how it is setup…if it was too high, it would FS when my throttle is at low stick…it does not…low stick it 1100…fs set point is 1000…RX failsafe is 980…works fine, but if I select stick arming it will not…
ok, that’s strange, would need logs to check that, but unless you have a pre-arm check that fail, I can assure you that having FS_THR_ENABLE >0 does not stop people from arming.
Arm check verifies that throttle is within 10% of RC_MIN…which I had RC cal’d to include the FS low throttle point…which was more than 10% below normal low idle…once I recal’d throttle RC_MIN to be the normal, not FS low throttle point…it arms fine…
