Ok thanks everyone for all your help with that. I didn’t get chance to attempt it tonight but hopefully I will have more time over the weekend to watch the videos and give it ago.
Christian I need to apologise. Ive had such a crazy busy week Ive not had a chance to dig out and post you that practice board and solder. I will find it and get it posted to you tomorrow 
Aw no worries. Thats fine mate no rush as I am passed the soldering for now but it will come in handy for the future. So whenever you get the chance bud.
Cheers
Also I have managed to get my quad linked to betaflight it would seem so I am going to have a proper go at setting all the controls up on there today and let you all know how that goes.
Fingers crossed we are close!
Hi guys, I have been playing around with the betaflight this afternoon and I am finding it pretty hard, is there anyone that could do a video call with me where I can share my screen at some point and walk me through what I need to do? If this is at all possible and not to long.
I have managed to get my motors spinning at one point which I felt I was getting close but its all very complex and I don’t want to do anything wrong. All the settings are so overwhelming!
Thanks
Sure. I’m not currently up to much. What’s your preferred videoconferencing program? Teams? Zoom? Something else…
Brilliant thanks mate,
I’ll be honest I don’t really tend to video call much, I am familiar with teams more than the others.
Is that good for you?
Perfect. I’ll PM you a meeting invite if you let me know when you’re free.
Ok nice one.
Are you ok to bare with me half hour or so while I have some dinner first or is now better for you?
Just thinking it may take some time and I’m starving haha
Sure. Whenever you’re ready.
Cool thank you so much mate, sorry to put you off. My food will be ready in 20 minutes roughly so if you want to drop me a link around half 6 ish I should be pretty much ready by then I’d say
Hi mate, Im ready now if your free
Check your messages. 
General shout-out for ideas…
I think we’re really close now - BF is doing everything it should - gyro, receiver, motor test, etc .
BUT - It doesn’t arm. 
We have checked “Allow arm without GPS fix” is switched ON in the Failsafe page and MOTOR_STOP is OFF on the Motots configuration.
What might we have missed?
Are his switches setup in his controller mixer?

Also he has disconnected usb from the PC? It wont arm while connected to Betaflight
End points of the throttle set ok? The osd will tell you why it wont arm.

I believe so.
Turns out the throttle is sprung to the centre position. 
So it needs holding down to arm.
There should be a screw somewhere on the controller to release the tension on the throttle. Its so you can change to mode 2 etc lol
