      Hello,

      I have a stock Starling 2 Max that has issues reporting data from the battery. I first tried adding the battery0, InstantPower value display in QGC, but it started at about 6W before I took off and never changed. The other values in that display, like altitude, did change correctly. I tried reading out voxl-inspect-battery but just saw N/A for all of the fields. I verified that voxl-mavlink-server, voxl-px4, and voxl-vision-hub were all running. My esc-tools version is 1.9 and the 4 in 1 ESC is board version 44, firmware version 39.21, and bootloader version 184. The system image is version 1.8.04-M0054-14, voxl-suite is version 1.5.0.

      When I run px4-listener battery_status , it says "never published". During later testing, the battery display disappeared from QGC, so now I can't even see what the voltage on the battery is. I think this may be a hardware issue with either the ESC or VOXL 2. What do you think?
