Arming issues head

[Wayno52]

hi all, I changed my pid settings in betaflight and now having arming issues. FS-i6 being used. My arm button used to be top left switch. Now I can only seem to arm with 3rd switch which is my mode select switch. I tried to reset settings and now I can’t seem to get things back to normal. I can not for the life of me figure out betaflight. I hate computers and have just about had enough. All videos I watch just go over my head. Fc is flashing slow red which I know is not good. Any ideas?

Not sure why head is on there sorry

JC is always pretty good about speaking in english instead of acronyms.

Joshua Bardwell has one for arming problems.

I would start on the modes tab, check if the Arm mode has a switch assigned. Also Betaflight 3.2 will tell you what is keeping you from arming (somewhere, don't know where but I think Josh Bardwell mentions it in that video).

Thanks Green, fc was or is still in 3.1 not 3.2 . I tried to flash 3.2 but can’t find boot button. Honestly I’m too old for this sh.t now I can’t even get it to connect. I changed yaw settings a while back but I’m fu...d if I know how. This is driving me insane.

Raceflight. Try this driver fixing tool
Fix any STM32 DFU Drivers issues when flashing Betaflight/Cleanflight firmware

With Raceflight, you never have to mess with drivers or anything just answer a few questions and your set-up is done, less than 5 min

Wayne, you want to use the impulserc driver fixing tool on that page

Cheers Vv also just realised I messed with controller when trying to use sim. Changed a lot of settings then. But has worked fine until now.

Can’t look at laptop screen any longer. Phone is hard enough after 9 hours of trying to fix this issue. I will attack bird and laptop again in the am.
