Hi,

I can see that you have configured the RC,  
To arm the quadcopter in Altitude or Manual mode,  
You need to reduce the throttle force to the minimum (from the RC), and then you will be able to arm the quadcopter

Hi,

I advise you to follow this video : [PixHawk/ArduCopter for Beginners (2023 series): 2. Installing the PixHawk 6C and full setup steps - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzM4J_qlEso)

even if you are not using ArduPilot, it will help you to understand the arming process

Put the throttle to the lower position, and you solve this problem.

But, it would help if you were sure that you put on zero the throttle. You can be in Mode 1 or 3 (throttle on the left), and you can consider being in Mode 2 and 4 (throttle on the right). So, please check!

Or you are in the correct mode, but the throttle channel is reversed.

Or on your station or in PX4, you mapped in the wrong way the channels, and the throttle is yaw or pitch.
