Autonomous flying - rc not found

Hello, I am trying to fly my drones autonomously with Skybrush. When skybrush tries to arm the motors I get pre arm check failed - RC not found. I set RC_options to 4, arming_check to 72 (i read that should bypass the RC prearm check). I also set some skybrush parameters according to their docs. Any ideas what could be the issue? When i turn on the RC everything works well.
