HK Quad Controller Setup

Hi Josh, I need your help! After watching you videos on setting up a KK board I got an X666 quad from HK with the KK board V3. Now, I have done all the steps according to your videos and everything work out up to the point were you return the yaw pot back to 50% after calibrating the ESCs, after returning my yaw pot back to 50% I powered up the quad and got no response from the motors, they all keep beeping very low and the light on the KK board stays off. If I do return the yaw pot back to zero and power up the quad than I do get response from motors, but no spool ups from any of them to compensate.

Josh, great videos. Followed the videos, but in trying to use the TX throttle to set the ESCs is where I am failing. I get the beeps as you do, but moving the trottle doesn't result in the confirmation beeps. Any idea as to what could be the cause? I followed everything exactly. I have an older 7 channel TX/RX with the Turnigy 9x coming. Connecting just one esc + motor to the RX works. Wondering if it could be a faulty board. Flashed it as you did in your first video and it completed successfully. Thanks for any reply.

Hi Josh ~ Great video as always ! My quad is now dialled in and flying great ~ thanks !

Moving on to tricopters have you ( or any of your many followers ) tried building and flying one yet successfully with no servo on the tail for yaw control ? I just need to know if it will fly on cyclic controls only as I want to keep the weight down and not worried about having no yaw control. Thanks again Josh. Keep 'em coming for us noobie do's ! Lol !
