Hi…!

There are a couple of things to clarify.

  1. When you say the motors do not spin, are you actually Arming the copter prior to lift the throttle ?
  2. In that state, do you hear a beep from the motors at every few seconds ?

It’s important to do:

  1. Set the End Points to about 120% for each channels and each directions.
  2. The calibration of the ESC’s.
  3. The calibration of the sensors.
  4. Do a first “ARM” without the propellers on.

What you can do is hook it up to WinGUI and see the outputs to the motor live.
This will tell you if the Quadrino actually send a speed to the ESC’s.

Then if the ESC’s were not properly calibrated, they will wait for a LOW signal until the ESC’s themselves are armed.
Sometimes you will have to change the “Min Command” value to a value that the ESC’s will see.
