ARMING_CHECK 0 (Important: use this setting only for ground testing. Never disable all pre-arm checks for actual flight, as this can result in loss of the aircraft.)

Disables all pre-arm checks and ignores all arming requirements.

With the throttle at minimum, hold full right yaw for 6 seconds to arm the flight controller. The motors will run when throttle is applied.

To retain pre-arm checks for selected critical functions, enable the required checks according to the actual installation.

Example: To require a valid GPS fix and confirm that the barometer is healthy before arming, enter 10

Refresh parameters

For a SIYI receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL to 16.

For a CRSF receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL to 12.

For an ELRS receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL to 15.

After radio transmitter calibration, check the RC15 channel value by searching for RC15.

Use RC15 for an ELRS receiver. For a SIYI receiver, select RC16.
