VOXL ESC Mini 4-in-1 not detected issue
-
Hello,
I have a drone using a 5v VOXL ESC Mini 4-in-1 with Built-in Power Module with the voxl2 and I have run into an issue where after some use the ESC are not detected anymore by the voxl2. Sometimes, the I can run the commands described in https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/master/voxl-esc-tools/calibration.md to manually spin but I can no longer fly through QGC and the blue status light does not blink anymore. After some time though I could not even run the commands on the voxl either and I get a notice that no ESC is detected. The blue light still comes on and the voxl is powered through it so power is for sure going through. Anything to try or test to diagnose or get these working? Nothing should have changed in between them working and not working -
@mkriesel , you should try to communicate with the ESC from a linux PC using a serial to usb adapter and
voxl-esctools. This will remove VOXL2 from the loop and allow you to test the ESC independently.It seems there may be some intermittent issue, since you are saying that sometimes you are able to manually spin. what about
voxl-esc-scan.py? Check UART cable?Alex

@mkriesel This cable will help if you do not already have one: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00091
Quick Edit/add: I just noticed our team never had these listed on our shopify site, so they are adding them soon! Thanks!
