Naze 32 Revision 6 Flight Controller Guide

I have just updated the guide to include some things to check to solve the problem of your board not arming:

I cant get my Naze32 to arm

It can be rather annoying to build and setup your quadcopter and when you arrive to go fly, it will not arm. So its always a good idea to check its working after setting it up before going out to fly. However from time to time it might not want to arm so here are a few common mistakes that prevent your Naze 32 flight controller from arming.

Make sure your radio is setup correctlyWhen you are setting up your cleanflight board, make sure that your radio settings are correct. This means to make sure the challens are are correctly assigned and not reversed (when you move the throttle stick upwards you see the throttle channel moving upwards on cleanflight). Also make sure the range is between 1000-2000, if not you will need to change either the settings on your radio, or use the cleanflight command line as discussed here

Make sure you have performed sensor calibration?If you have not yet calibrated your accelerometers, and compass (only on 10DOF boards) on your board. An easy way to do this is to make sure your multirotor is on a level surface, with battery connected. Then on your R/C controllor move the sticks to the appropriate positions as shown in hte image below for the Gyro and ACC calibration:

Check your throttle failsafeA common error is the PWM failsafe value that is set on cleanflight. Cleanflight has a failsafe to turn off the motors and disarm if it looses connection to your R/C controller. However sometimes this might be higher than your actual radio thottle idle value, so the failsafe would activate (requireing you to restart your board before it will allow you to arm again). So you will either need to change the throttle idle value on your radio, or change the value within cleanflight. But please make sure that you do set a failsafe and have configured this on your R/C receiver as you dont want your drone to fly away accidentally.
