Wizard X220S - Motor arming problem

Greetings,
recently I bought an Eachine Wizard X200S from Banggood.
After I opened it, I had to replace the reciever cable to connect the drone with my Flysky i6, but it wasn't a problem. I paired the drone with the controller successfully and then I did some settings in CleanFlight.

Because I'm relatively new in this hobby, I used this video as inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1402&v=z2Q2KdhtmFA (22nd minute).

Everything seemed to work properly, but then I finally tried to fly. And here is the problem.
I just can't start the motors. According to the settings I did, motors should get armed with one of the switches on controller, but it doesn't work. I tried the original arming (with right joystick position) too, but without any result.

The I connected the drone with PC again, and found out that even CleanFlight isn't recieving any informations from controller. I'm pretty sure that I did the pairing right, because in the controller screen I can see informations about the drone.

Does anybody here know where is the problem? I think it's just the arming, but it can be anything.

Thanks in advance
Michael P.
 
For starters, swap to betaflight.
Cleanflight is dead.
And did you setup the Aux switches on the transmitter.
Aux1 or channel5 arm on SWD or SWA
Aux2 or Channel6 modes on the 3 position switch SWC. If these are not setup it's a no go.

I tried to connect with Betaflight, but I wasn't able to.
And setup I did exactly like in the video and then I tried some other combinations, but it still doesn't work :/
 
The info the radio is showing is the power to the Rx. Are you sure the flight controller and radio are using the same protocol (PPM, Sbus ..., in the config tab in CF)?

Fsi6 is pwm, ppm, depending on the receiver. or ibus which is serial rx in the config tab. To use ibus or ppm, the ppm must be set to on, In the tx menu.
 
If using the stock rx ppm should be turned off. Pwm rx can be quite bulky unless you depinned it and direct solder to the holes.

You need to short your bootloader pins and flash your firmware to a newer version of betaflight.

Is this really needed? I'm afraid I'll do something wrong and will damage flight controller.

Radio should be using PPM and on Rx I switched from PWM to PPM too.

? What RX are you using?

I'm using FS-iA6B (https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Fly...ible-Flysky-i4-i6-i10-Transmitter-359072.html)
 
In firmware flasher match your baud rate.
Turn on no reboot sequence
Turn on full chip erase.
Short the boot pins.
Flash on connect
Then apply power.
It should kick in.
You can't brick it so no worries.
 
Ia6b is either pwm ppm or if you took the 10 channel upgrade for the tx you can use ibus.. But need to apply serial rx in config tab in betaflight.
 
Do you think It'll solve the problem?
Btw, here's why I'm not able to connect with betaflight: upload_2018-8-21_12-28-56.png
The connect button doesn't work. I tried to reinstall betaflight and drivers, but nothing changed.
 
There's no com port showing in the home page of BF. Try a different USB cable, possible you're using a charging cable instead of data transfer

Right outta the box it's i-Bus ready.

I'm having the exact same problem... Not able to connect to Betaflight with my Omnibus Betaflight f3... It works with cleanflight, but I can't do much there. I read "it is dead" further up, but what is the real difference? Annoying that Betaflight doesnt works. I have downloaded usb drivers etc.
