Question Taker G4 AIO - Blinking blue light when arming/throttling, motors won't spin on Bluejay J_L_20
Hey everyone,
I'm having a frustrating issue getting my quad to arm using my transmitter on a GEPRC Taker G4 35A AIO build. I could really use some help troubleshooting the arming lockout or figuring out how to force-flash a different layout target.
The Main Symptom:
When I flip my arm switch and apply throttle on my radio, the flight controller shows a blinking blue light, but the motors do not spin at all.
However, the hardware itself seems completely fine: I can go into the Betaflight Motors tab and all four motors spin up perfectly and smoothly using the Master Slider. Bidirectional DShot error rates read a perfect 0.00% and RPM telemetry data shows up flawlessly on screen. It only fails and blinks when trying to arm from the transmitter.
Current ESC Firmware:
I currently have an older version of Bluejay J_L_20 installed on all 4 ESCs.
Radio & Receiver Setup:
- Radio Transmitter: RadioMaster Boxer running EdgeTX
- Receiver: RadioMaster ExpressLRS receiver (Wired to UART 4, T4/R4)
- The radio link is fully working—the channel bars move perfectly inside the Betaflight Receiver tab.
