Trouble controlling motors

[Gabriel]

Hi. I'm working on creating a quadcopter flight controller with an Arduino. I've had success in reading the output from the throttle pin on the RC receiver and then using to Arduino to control 1 motor, but if I try to add a second motor and control it through the aileron pin (I know that I don't need to be able to do this to create my flight controller, but I'm just wondering why it won't work), the motor won't move. When the stick is in resting position, the receiver outputs a steady 1500 pwm, which should make the motor run at half speed, but it doesn't. I'd like to know if this is an issue before I commit more money to this project.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks.

first you are going to want to get a cheap flight controller like a KK2.1.5 to check all of your hardware with.

Take a look at this post, some of the info pertains to this.
