[TowerTalk] Alfa spid and Green Heron controller

[Les Kalmus]

As suggested by others, check with Jeff.

On the other hand, If you are in a hurry, if you connected only the 
motor and not the sense connections, you will get a no motion error 
because the controller needs to see that the rotor is turning. If it 
doesn't see that (via the sense lines) it assumes there is a problem and 
stops with the error message.

If you did connect the sensor lines, try reversing them.
