RC not calibrated error

I have a Y 6. All is functioning OK except when the preflight check runs it reports “RC not calibrated” error. I have a Spektrom DX7 and as far as I can see it IS calibrated. At the end of the calibration a small window appears with the range settings and I click OK. I have tried this with both an iMac and Windows machines with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? Can the control settings as listed be manually entered into the APM? If so, where? EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS!

Please post your parameters?
Ideally, post a log of a radio calibration so I can give you the parameters to set to get you flying.

“RC not calibrated” means that it thinks your RC[0-4]_(TRIM|MIN|MAX) parameters are set to the defaults.

Is that just from the calibration screen? Are you sure they got saved?

Yes, that is just from the calibration screen. No, I am almost certain they haven’t got saved despite my clicking OK. This was my point in the original post - is there another way to save them by direct input?

RC1_MIN  1117
RC1_TRIM 1511
RC1_MAX  1916
RC2_MIN  1117
RC2_TRIM 1518
RC2_MAX  1919
RC3_MIN  1313
RC3_TRIM 1317
RC3_MAX  1920
RC4_MIN  1105
RC4_TRIM 1514
RC4_MAX  1916
RC5_MIN  1116
RC5_TRIM 1518
RC5_MAX  1923
RC6_MIN  1114 
RC6_TRIM 1117
RC6_MAX  1922

You can input these in the full parameter list. Probably fastest to put them into a text file and then load that file from the full parameter list interface.

Thanks. Now I know what to look for I can see that they are all there. Still get the same error message though.

Ah, sorry. Here’s your problem:

// check channels 3 & 4 have min <= 1300 and max >= 1700 if (g.rc_3.radio_min > 1300 || g.rc_3.radio_max < 1700 || g.rc_4.radio_min > 1300 || g.rc_4.radio_max < 1700) { return; }

Radio 3 min is > 1300 so that is causing the issue.

Fixed! Thanks.

I see the same error on apm 2 “rc not calibrated.” I tried times by times calibrating rc but not accepted. I have checked radio channel paramaters and all of them are OK. but i can not armed my apm because of this error. please help.
