MultiWii not Recognizing anything

So Im working on my first drone build.
Flight controller is an Arduino Nano and MPU6050

Using SimonK 30A ESC with 2112 920KV motors

The transmitter and receiver im using is a FlySky FS-T6 and FS-R6B
Using latest Multiwii

My issue is, after uncommenting the things I need and uploading it to my arduino, nothing is being registered when I open the MultiWii GUI, no stick input no 6050 input nothing.

I have everything connected as here ( I cant post links so google "Multiwii arduino" and its the one from electronoobs. Like 3rd page under Flight Controller)

Ive changed around the SERIAL_SUM_PPM things as well and nothing

I think its safe to say I have no idea what im doing software side. At least I have some idea of what im doing hardware wise.

Hopefully I can get this thing up in the air soon. I know everythings working because ive tried some other firmware that worked a bit. I switched to MultiWii because the other software had a bunch of problems with stability and crashed the drone a lot.

I don't know anything about MultiWii, but I know a bit about arduino and a bit more about software.
Have your tried taking the original code (that I assume you downloaded from somewhere) and tried things out? I don't know the code so not sure if that is possible, but my diagnostic strategy would be to start with zero or one changes to the original code, and keep making one change at a time until it stops working.

One of these things is not like the other. ;)

Just tested that, I have to at least select which accelerometer/gyro I'm using or else it wont compile. When having just the mpu6050 selected, still same issue, not receiving/showing any input. MultiWii gui shows nothing even when i tilt the quad.

Hahaha i meant I knew the hardware was working
 
Heres how I have it wired up

MPU6050 - SCL pin to A5
SDA pin to A4

D2: Channel 3 from receiver (throttle)
D3: Top Left ESC
D4: Channel 1 from receiver (Roll/aileron)
D5: Channel 2 from receiver (Pitch/elevator)
D6: Channel 4 from receiver (Yaw/rudder)
D7: Channel 5 from receiver (Aux)
D8 :Channel 6 from receiver (Aux)
D9: Bottom Right ESC
D10: Top Right ESC
D11: Bottom Left ESC

Everything is getting power too, ESC all connected to the battery, 12v in on the arduino nano and i connect the receiver and mpu to the 5v out on the arduino for their power
 
I have the very same problem. My Multiwii configuration read the accelerometer values and my transmitter values correctly, but suddenly it stopped reading the transmitter values. I have tested if the transmitter was fine and it works correctly but the GUI does not recognize it. There may be a problem in the setup code (.ide). However, I don't know how to solve it.
 
I have, I also have your same problem, the drone with arduino and gy512 works but on the gui I do not receive the signals of the remote control, can someone help me
