Cant Get Motors To Spin

So I recently had my quad flying pretty good. Then I cut a ppm wire with the props by accident. Since my receiver supported I-bus I switched to using that. Now that I am using I-Bus I cant get the motors to spin no matter what. Even the motor controller in beta flight cant get them to spin. The drone arms (indicator light in beta flight and beeper signals that it is armed). I have my ESC's set to multishot which they support. I used the build guide found here to make this drone. I am also using a flysky x6b receiver. And in the receiver tab it shows all of the inputs working how they should.

Well, I would rather use I-bus because it is 3 wires instead of 7 wires. And I have a feeling that the reason the motors are not spinning isnt because of the receiver mode but I dont really know.

You're correct, if the BF receiver tab shows your sticks operating correctly, you should be good to go. So first, lets get your motors spinning up in the motor test screen. Firstly, they won't spin up if you just have your quad connected with a USB cable, do you also have your battery connected? Secondly, in the motor test screen, do you have the little box checked that confirms that you've sold your soul to the devil?

Battery is connected, I have checked that box and tried bringing up 1 motor and using the master slider both don't do anything. Im starting to think this is an ESC problem. But the ESC was working perfect before so idk why it would just randomly die.

Sad, but they do. I have 6 kwads only 1 has a 4in1 for the simple fact that a 3in1 doesn't work. And the esc's I like to use dont really fit on a 130. I've never had this problem. maybe the cut wire touched the positive side of the pdb.

Yeah Maybe, another thing that convinces me that the 4 in 1 esc is dead is that BLHeli configurator is not detecting it.

Fixed It! when I was working with the receiver to switch it I must have bumped the negative lead on the esc and it came off just enough to not be noticeable. Everything is working great now!
