Status tab
A place for basic flight controller information. The status tab is the first tab you see when you connect to your flight controller. You can check the gyroscope live preview, view the arming prevention flags and other FC information.
Info
Shows some basic data from the flight controller and model. This includes:
- Craft Name

Arming
- Enable Arming: Use this switch to enable arming while the configurator is connected.
With the arming enabled, the motor can spoolup when the throttle is released.
Remove blades for safety.
- Arming Disable Flags: Shows all of the "errors" that prevent the flight controller from arming. This is useful to check if you're having issues arming.
You can find out a description of these flags from the List of Arming prevention flags
