 Most autopilots include a barometer directly on the autopilot but attaching an external barometer can be useful in order to place the barometer away from air pressure disturbances.  It can also allow monitoring the environmental or an internal component's temperature within a typical range of -40 - +85°C.

-   power up your flight board on USB power
-#. set both the parameters :ref:`Q_M_SPIN_ARM<Q_M_SPIN_ARM>` and Q_THR_MID to 1000.

-#. arm your aircraft. The PWM output on all quad motors will now climb

-#. add power to your ESCs by connecting the battery
-#. wait for the ESCs to beep to indicate they have registered the

-#. disarm your aircraft. The ESCs should beep again indicating they have
