motors dont run on multiwii quadcopter

[mathies]

hello,

I've just built my first MultiWii quadcopter.
My setup is:
Flight controller: MultiWii PRO Flight Controller w/MTK GPS Module (EU warehouse)
ESC: Hobby King 30A ESC 3A UBEC (EU warehouse)
Motors: D2830-11 1000kv Brushless Motor (EU Warehouse)
Battery: Turnigy 3300mAh 3S 30C Lipo Pack (EU warehouse)
Props: 8045 SF Props 2pc CW 2 pc CCW Rotation (Orange) (EU Warehouse)

I have everything connected and uploaded the multiwii 2.3 software to the multiwii pro board.
When I connect the battery ther are 5 tunes and the leds are flashing but when I want to arm the motors, nothing happens. I tried everything but they wont work.
Is there anyone who could help me?

Greets,
Mathies

Some obvious things to check:

- rebind your tx/tx
- if that's not the issue, plug the signal from each ESC into the throttle pins on the receiver (bypass the board) and make sure you can get them all to spin. This will basically pinpoint the board as the issue.
- ensure your esc's are connected to the pins on the board with the correct orientation (make sure the signal is connected to the correct pin).

Also - have you read this?

Multi Wii Manual / Quick Start Guide

There is actually a bit of troubleshooting advice in there. I skimmed through it, but I saw a few things like - if you see this behavior, you did this wrong, or if you hear this pattern of beeping, you did that wrong, etc. If you haven't, it would be worth while to read through this guide.
