    Can’t get the connection working to the FrSky Receiver we installed, no inputs seem to be visible in QGroundControl – Is the installed PX4 firmware compatible with the FrSky S.BUS receiver?

    Are we missing any settings?

    The motors aren’t working, it seems the ESC Firmware is missing (fast flashing blue light) – where to get it?

          @NUMETRIX , in order to check and upgrade your ESC firmware, you can install the latest VOXL2 SDK, which comes with voxl-esc tools.

          scan:
          voxl-esc scan

          upgrade firmware:
          voxl-esc upgrade_firmware

          for reference:
          https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/master/scripts/voxl-esc?ref_type=heads

          (the voxl-esc tools are installed to /usr/share/modalai/voxl-esc-tools/) by the SDK. You can call the python scripts directly from there as well (as opposed to using voxl-esc wrapper). But make sure to stop PX4 first.
