    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
