ESC calibration guide

Do I have to keep the propeller attached with motors while calibrating the modalai v2 Rev B esc?
These are the instruction from modalai team## Calibrate ESC - wear safety glasses - make sure the propeller is clear of any obstacles and there are no items that can become airborne due to high air flow - calibrate the ESC's feed-forward curve - ```python voxl-esc-calibrate.py --id 0 --pwm-min 10 —-pwm-max 95``` - this will step the motor through a range of power from 10% to 95% -
yes, you need the propellers installed to calibrate the motor+propeller RPM curve

@Chad-Sweet Is there any alternative method for calibrating the VOXL 4-in-1 ESC v2 that does not require the propellers being installed as opposed to the VOXL ESC Tools ?

Without propellers you are not calibrating the ESC
