@suvasis There are UARTs available to the applications processor via some of our add-on boards. Then you can use this UART for your new BMS application. It can be Python or C, whatever you like. But there is no UART available to applications processor on the bare VOXL2 board. Or are you intending to integrate this with PX4?
@suvasis Are you referring to a ModalAI ESC? Or are you using a third party ESC? We do not have a CAN bus on VOXL2.
@suvasis Which ModalAI product are you referring to?
Hi,
Our next VOXL2 beta release will ship with the drivers, this is slated to be available soon (within weeks) and will provide for initial testing.
@stevedan Okay, thanks for trying that. We are still discussing internally on best next steps.
@Abdullah01 The latest supported release contains voxl-px4 based on 1.12. You install the package on target with: dpkg -i voxl-px4_1.12.31_arm64.deb. Our 1.14 version is not yet released so you would have to build it from our development branch yourself and realize that there are a few limitations with it.
Hi @Filip-Slezak
As far as I understand, FCv2 does indeed support CAN with no issues that I have heard of.
I'm not able to help with SW issues, so please review these pages, and if you get stuck, please try to post a new Forum topic so our SW engineers can see it as a fresh case and respond accordingly.

Thanks!
Hello @ErezI,
Can you please describe your setup? Specifically, in your first test, how are you connecting to the Tmotor ESC and where are you running voxl-esc tools? (on your PC or VOXL2 ?). Did you make your own cable for UART communication?
./voxl-esc-scan.py command will automatically try all typical baud rates, including 2Mbit and should detect the Tmotor ESC.

@stevedan One quick thing you can try is to blow some compressed air through the motor. If there is some debris stuck inside the motor then the air could blow it out.
