Major MultiWii issues connecting to transmitter and more

I thought I had got somewhere with this MultiWii but my problems seems to have grown. Main issue i';m trying to figure out is how to connect my Tx/Rx. I';m using a futaba so I edited the config.h a little but getting no where. Right now my WinGui shows nothing at all, and even though my receiver shows a green light, its as if the FC isn';t receiving or recognizing any signal at all.

Second issue is I can';t get a satellite lock. The little red led is solid all the time but blinking green/red In the GUI.

Third problem is the blue line in my sensor graph is all crazy. Posting some pics with this so let me know what you think.

Only other thing I can say is the blue led on the FC board blinks constantly. I';m running 2.3 on the MW Pro with MTK GPS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I';m determined to get this thing figured out one way or another.

Does your receiver output a sum ppm signal? I thought futaba was sbus .

AS a test I would re-comment your sum ppm and just run a single channel like the throttle.

Can';t help with your other woes

stickboy

Not sure about the s-bus, it has a port labeled for it but I';ve always just hooked mine up like a traditional receiver. Think I';m getting closer though. I commented out the "PPM sum receiver" part and re-flashed and noticed my throttle was actually moving in the winGUI when I hit the sticks. Turns out I made the newb mistake of hooking up my wires wrong! Haven';t managed to get it to arm yet but after I';ve a couple more things to try after checking a couple other threads.  :crossfingers:
