It needs to see a signal from the TX - is it turned on ?

Is the beastx unit initializing? are you seeing the orange lights come on at all when you turn on your rx power?

Yes tranny on, all lights seem to run through a sequance, i think it's v2 but can't read anything on the unit, certain lights are supposed to come on but they don't,

It would be worth just double checking that you have plugged in the leads properly, its quite easy to connect them into the beastx unit so that only two of the pins are linked rather than all three. Ask me how I know!!

How do you know ?

'cos I plugged them in and it didn't work, then realised what a complete idiot I was (and still am according to my other half...)

You must make sure you are in the setup menu (solid light not flashing not rapid flashing)

Press and hold the button for a few seconds till the light goes solid, then press and hold for 10 seconds to perform the reset.

This caught me out when i first got mine.

Once its run through the initial light sequence the swashplate should move up and down a couple of times to show its initialized and the orange lights will go out. The main light on top of the unit should should stay on and be either red or blue depending on whether its in heading hold or rate mode. Can you move any of the servo's via the tx?

This is what i have
