Arming the Drone
Whenever arming or disarming commands are given to the flight controller the drone’s state
may change suddenly requiring the operator to react immediately in order to keep positive
control of the drone.
The most common reason for not arming is the calibration of compass on a different or
magnetically noisy environment. Please refer to Compass calibration and try again.
There is a 5 second delay on the arming and disarming of the stick commands to avoid
accidental spinning of the motors or disarming the drone in mid-air causing the drone to crash.
The Evolve makes several internal calibrations and adjustments before each flight. If for any reason,
any of the vital sensors or internal equipment has a safety issue the drone will not ARM upon the ARM
command given by the operator’s stick and the LEDs under each motor will turn RED. Please refer to
the Smart Pilot screen to check for the diagnoses in order to correct the problem.
Before arming the drone make sure pre-flight check lists are complete and the drone is in an area clear
of obstacles and loose debris, as loose debris can damage the propellers and possibly cause loose
debris to act as projectiles doing damage to surrounding property and personnel.
Push the throttle stick down and to the right
and wait for the LED’s light change. During
arming the LEDs color will fast blink different
colors followed by a long beep, the motors
will then engage and the propellers will
start spinning. Move the throttle stick to the
middle position and the drone is ready to
take off manually.
