@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

@Darshit-Desai If you upload the px4 log someone on our team can analyze it

@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 The logs can be downloaded through QGroundControl: https://docs.px4.io/v1.11/en/getting_started/flight_reporting.html#downloading-logs-from-the-flight-controller

@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

[Darshit Desai]

@tom any updates on this?

@Darshit-Desai Can you try the v1.13 PX4 for the Flight Core? https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-v2-firmware/
