# 6.5 RC Calibration

In RC configuration **(RPA Configuration > RC Config)**, RC transmitters allow the pilot to set the flight mode, control the vehicle’s movement and orientation and also turn on/off auxiliary functions (i.e. raising and lowering landing gear, etc.).

* RC Calibration involves capturing each RC input channel’s minimum, maximum and “trim” values so that ArduPilot can correctly interpret the input.
* Move both sticks in the largest circle possible so that they reach their complete range of motion. Move the Ch 5 and 6 toggle switches through their range of positions.
* Your transmitter should cause the following control changes:

                  Channel 1: low = roll left, high = roll right.

                  Channel 2: low = pitch forward, high=pitch back.

                  Channel 3: low = throttle down (off), high = throttle up.

                  Channel 4: low = yaw left, high = yaw right.

* Ensure the status of transmitter and receiver as Power On.
* Ensure that the transmitter and receiver are connected properly.
* Ensure that the propellers are not connected to the motors. Also, make sure that the motors are not powered ON.
* Click ok and move all sticks and switches to their extreme positions.
* Reset all transmitter trims to center. Then click "Ok" button.
* Click on "Click When Done" button to move further.

* Ensure the channels assigned are proper or not. Click on "Update" after confirmation. 
* Parameters are sent to the device. Click on "Ok" to proceed.
* Now the entire RC calibration process is completed.
