      @Moderator I have got the cable for flight core update, I upgraded the sdk to 1.1.2 again but then I am following the instructions as shown in the below but nothing shows up in the firmware tab

      https://docs.modalai.com/update-flight-core-firmware/#update-using-qgroundcontrol---mainline-builds

        @Darshit-Desai The .px4 file is in the SDK release zip:

        for FCv1: voxl_SDK_1.1.2/flight-core/modalai_fc-v1_1.14.0-2.0.63.px4

        Follow the instructions here (ModalAI Build) with the above .px4 file:

            @Darshit-Desai Did you unplug power and re-connect power while keeping USB attached?

              @tom I was able to finish the upgrade, but in QGC it shows something about actuators, when I open it opens the esc calibration related page, Do I need to calibrate esc again?

              Edit: I found this page (https://docs.modalai.com/modal-esc-px4-user-guide/) on ESCs and added the parameters accordingly, the only ones I don't know are the min and max RPM, I am using the voxl 1 m500 with holybro 2216-920kv motors. Also I don't think the motors rotate when I try to using the sliders

                @Darshit-Desai Can you try loading the FCv1 m500 params from here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-px4-params/-/blob/master/params/v1.14/platforms/M500_FCV1.params

                  @tom V1 or V2? Because when I flash firmware it detects v2

                      @tom It's hard for me to follow which hardware you have, so whichever one you have v1 or v2

                        @tom Yes I am also not sure what came with m500 I recently bought because the earlier ones had v1

                        Edit: The motor issue was resolved with this and I can spin the motors, I will have a flight with the propellers and confirm it

                          @tom On the next reboot it's showing esc failure in the logs

                          And the motors try to spin up for a few seconds when arming and then instantly stop

                          When I move this sliders now the motors rotate but when I try to arm the drone using RC it shows the ESC failure error

                              @tom By px4 log you mean the one mentioned in the post earlier, How can I access the log file which is mentioned here in the QGC log?

                                    @Darshit-Desai Our m500 also showed something needed to be done with the acutator after updgrade to 1.14. But after loading the parameters (assuming you are using fcv2) and then reboot and it is okay.

                                    p.s. I vaguely rember having to do "loading parameters and rebooting" twice to get everything done. But I'm not very sure about this just I have this impression.

                                      @coreyazion @tom This didn't work for me, although the drone esc and the drone functionality overall does work on an older sdk and flight core params, so its the newer version that's causing bugs for me
