When we go to Libre Pilot we are not able to configure the output value in the max or the min. We are also not able to click the 'link' button to link all of our ESC's together. The program will not allow us to make any adjustments, and it looks like the GCS isn't recognizing that our ESC's are connected.
When we try to configure our ESC's and find the neutral rate for our motors, we don't see any rotation either.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a way to test whether or not our ESC's are connected properly?
I've tried a simple continuity test between the control board and the ESC cables and the continuity looks good, but beyond that we don't know how to tell if our ESC's are connected right or if the ESC's are in good working condition or not!
HELP!

Post a picture how you connected the Esc to the board.
GCS isn't recognizing that our ESC's are connected.
There is no way to detect the Esc you use from the board point of view.

Have you set motor output channels in the vehicle tab first?
-
When you use the Wizard and it ask about the ESCs, I guess you select a type, then you go with the calibration, are you able to do that?
What happen when you do a manual calibration of the ESCs, without GCS.
- Disconnect ESC from FC
- Disconnect all channels from RX
- Connect the ESC to Channel 3 in RX (Normally Throttle)
- Turn on you TX and move the Throttle stick all the way up
- Power the ESC (You will hear a beep or a song) that tell you the the maximum throttle is set
- Now move the throttle stick all the way down (you will hear a beep or song) that will tell you that the minimum is set
- After that, if yo move the Throttle stick the motor should start to spin
Do this for each of the ESCs.
Please let us know.

After you get the minimum tone or beep for lowest throttle point. Disconnect your battery then plug in again. If you don't you may enter that escs program mode.
