    We screen all of them, but some models adjust pretty easily. Twist the lens gently and you will see it change focus

    Thanks @Chad-Sweet and @Alex-Kushleyev for the suggestions. Indeed it was a faulty ESC. Swapped it out and all temps are look fairly similar. On idle (room temp 25deg), the ESC temp stabilizes at around 50 odd degrees C.

    @modalab Thanks, starting my assembly and verifying parts. I didn't recall any antenna with the kit, will have to get some in the mail. Thanks for the reply

    Hello stevet, The reported voltage is the voltage measured by the ESC. In fact all 4 ESCs on the 4-in-1 ESC measure the voltage, you can try to run the calibrate script on others and double check the result. The current of 2.9A for a motor similar to EMAX 1306B is quite reasonable, in fact is probably on the low side (not a concern). If you are using a power supply that is capable of outputting 7.4V at much higher amps (lets say 10A), then follow these steps to figure out what is wrong: when ESC reports 2.9A, check to make sure the power supply also reports the same or similar current. run the calibration on a different ESC id to make sure the voltage measurement is similar to your first test use a multi-meter to measure the voltage right at the power input pads of the ESC (may need to solder temporary wires to ESC and connect them to multi-meter in order to do it safely.. use your judgement) the multi-meter voltage measurement should match very closely the voltage measured (under load) in the ESC the issue is most likely in the wiring between the power supply and the ESC (including possibility of a bad connector or bad solder joint at the connector).

    Okay, in the meantime, I ended up creating a subscriber for the tof_pc and I managed to extract the x,y and z points. Im assuming that the z point that I extracted from the voxl_mpa_to_ros is the same as the one used in voxl-inspect-points, so that z axis is also reported in meters correct? Thanks for you help so far.

    Our PWM breakout board does not have the positive rail connected.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I ran the pwm test command in the MavLink console and confirmed all motors except the suspect one so looks like I'm going to replace an ESC. I do appreciate your guidance.

    the TOF module pin-out matches the VOXL J2 pin-out found here We have also updated the documentation to include that pin-out here

    Hardware people on my team asked me to send it to send it to them at a different facility after posting this. My apologies @Alex-Gardner Will follow up if I see this happening with another board Marking as DEAD

    @Chad-Sweet Any other datasheets aside from this one? This is very high level. I am looking for pinouts, electrical characteristics, etc. Some specific part number. A technical reference manual?

    @Viswanathan-R Our Microhard add-on boards are purely Microhard -> ethernet adapters, that may be more of a question for Microhard themselves. The antennas that we ship with support multiple frequencies so if you have a specific frequency you are using you may get better performance with antennas that tailored to that specific frequency.

    @Chad-Sweet Yes, it usually is a good starting point. I do want to mention it took us 3 or 4 separate resets of all related radio settings before this particular glitch went away.

    Hi ModalTB, I was able to resolve the issue looking deeper into QGroundControl. I had set the system to HITL after following your awesome tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uoIxAkiYtk To fix this, I switched the system back to "Generic Quadcopter" in order to receive battery data. Thank you for your through response. It helped me to resolve this. Best Regards, Justin
