doin rips here too :). the drop down for the esc protocol should have something in it that matches something written on the esc on the quads arm.
then if there is only one servo connector in the Rx the input should be set to ibus I think.

well 2 days in and still no air time, my first problem was that no information was showing on the receiver tab, now after fiddling with settings it cant find itupload_2018-4-12_22-13-31.png

I'm really getting sick of all this nothing is working for me, is there any factory reset I can do for the drone, betaflight and flight controller and start from scratch?

Could some one either talk me through it or recommend a video. If someone would be happy to give me a video call/voice call or even talk me through step by step one night I could pay, I feel like its taking me two days to do something that can be done in an hour....

I'm getting so frustrated... just want to fly got all my batteries and charger and parallel charging boards, even the buzzers too the only thing I'm waiting for are my goggles to arrive, god help me connect to that because I cant even get the motors to spin for longer than 3 seconds let alone take off....

Check your ports tab, by chance have you disabled UART1 or does it still look exactly like this?

It did look like exactly like that, then I fiddled with a few settings in some hope that it'd work or atlest pick up the flighy controller now beta flight doesn't seem to be picking the drone either says error like in my last post

I think it was because I disabled msp in uart1 only saw the note above saying not to disable it after

Sorry haha, I think its not picking up the now drone and saying "no configuration recived, port successfully closed"

I think it's because I disabled msp in uart1

Yeah, that's not a good thing. You've basically locked yourself out (some call it "bricked" which isn't technically correct) and will have to short your bootloader pins, connect and re-flash your firmware

Better practice soldering too. Youre gonna do a lot of it. This hobby is a non stop trouble shooting hobby. You probably will never get more than a couple weeks out of your quad before you break something or it just doesnt act right anymore. You need to spend a lot of time on youtube watching a lot of videos. None of this is going to get easier from here. PID's and Rates!!!!! You are about to discover the rabbit hole of FPV. The quicker you get a grasp of how the quad actually works and all the components used and how to set each one up, the better it will go for you. With the right attitude this hobby is unfreakinbealiveable with the wrong one its going to drive you mad.

Drone plugged in to computer with battery attached, beta flight open, impulse running but nothing happening on either..
beta flight says:
Serial port successfully opened with ID: 1

2018-04-13 @ 18:49:19 -- No configuration received within 10 seconds, communication failed

2018-04-13 @ 18:49:19 -- Serial port successfully closed

ImpulseRC just says searching for fight controller

So I'm guessing next step is to short my bootloader pins, connect and re-flash my firmware... anyone able to point me in the right direction to do this?
