    Looks like the px4- version of the command isn't printing anything. You'll need to stop px4 running as a service with systemctl stop voxl-px4. Then wait a few seconds. Then start voxl-px4 from the command line in non-daemon mode with voxl-px4 -d. Once the startup script completes and you get a px4 prompt enter qshell ghst_rc status.

      I hope this helps, I'm not sure what 'normal' output looks like in this case.

        It shows that no bytes have been received over the UART. So you need to see why there are no bytes coming across. Is the receiver generating any? You can attach a oscilloscope to the transmit line from the receiver and see if it is trying to send anything. Are you sure that the receiver and transmitter are properly bound?

          I'm not sure it's a UART, I think it's a one-wire interface, there's only three wires connected to the GHOST board. The transmitter and receiver appear bound, and I've repeated the binding process a few times.

            Yes, there is ground, power, and the transmit line from the receiver. The receive line to the receiver is not connected. But this is a 4 wire UART.

              Less than 1V peak-to-peak measured at the receiver on the transmit line. In searching online it seems ImmersionRC have gone out of business also?

                I think ImmersionRC was bought by Orqa.

                  Assuming the receiver is damaged, what is the recommended replacement? I still have an FPV.Ctrl controller with UberLite-24 transmitter module.

                    Our recommended and most well-supported RC system would be ExpressLRS. We have our own receiver available here, and a transmitter pre-programmed to work with many of our drones available here.
                    Beyond these options, nearly any commercially available ExpressLRS transmitters and receivers would work and can be found cheaply. Follow the guidance here to make sure your chosen devices are compatible if you choose to look elsewhere.

                    If you would like to continue using your current controller and transmitter module, you will need to find a replacement ghst atto receiver which unfortunately don't seem to be available anymore.

                      @Maxwell-Schaefer Does the ExpressLRS receiver require different wiring than our existing ghst atto? I can reconnect/patch the 3 wires for power, gnd and data, but I'm not sure I can add connections to the J19 plug easily. To be clear, we're using the Sentinel platform, J19 has GPS and the receiver connection. We're also still using SDK 1.4 that shipped on our replacement VOXL2.

                      Thank you.
