set arming require to 0, this means the ArduCopter will boot into a armed state

peter i know this must be a verry simple thing to do but an have very limited time to learn how to do it i have it connected to my computers can i provide you with my pc team viewer for you to do it or i am asking too much ?
yep
Connect in mission planner → configuration → full parameter list → find ARMING_REQUIRE → set to 0 → write parameter
You don’t need to arm the vehicle to get all of the telemetry data you are
after. You will probably want to set LOG_DISARMED=1 so you get onboard
dataflash logs for later analysis / creation of pretty pictures.
I got a new setup 
but in cant get telemetry from pixhawk ?
