I just finished my first build, and while getting ready for the first flight, couldn't get the motors to turn. I performed a motor test on Ardupilot, and the motors worked fine and in the right order. Don't quite know where I went wrong. Now I can't get the motors to test, and I get the following Updatre: I got the motors to test by resetting the compass type to auto.
When I turn on the Flysky, I can't get the motors to turn.
I get the following message:
2/1/2026 12:44:10 PM : PreArm: Motors: MOT_SPIN_ARM > MOT_SPIN_MIN
2/1/2026 12:43:39 PM : PreArm: Motors: MOT_SPIN_ARM > MOT_SPIN_MIN
2/1/2026 12:43:09 PM : PreArm: Motors: MOT_SPIN_ARM > MOT_SPIN_MIN
I also have a double flashing yellow light on the controller. The motor arm button is solid red, and I have armed the FlySky. The battery is freshly charged.

Hi most quads need to have the motors armed on most it's both sticks down and away , to shut down both sticks down and towards each other , the transmitter setting normally is quad if you not got that try helicopter H1 single servo

I posted another question, and it has yet to be reviewed, so it can be published. Please review
 
The motors seem to arm ok, but don't respond to the Flysky. I still can't get the engines to turn.
