      @stevedan Can you tell if the new software release fixed the motor not spinning issue or do you need to resolve the new issue before you can test?

        @Eric-Katzfey i would love to solve that issue first but it seems that the fact that the telemetry is low was done intentionally. I will stress test the drone on Tuesday when i go back to the office and give feedback. Although with the new code during arming the motors spins way smoother compared to before and doesn't do what happens before. I will stress test and let you know.

          @stevedan Okay, understood. We are testing some new ESC firmware now and hope to have an update for you early next week.

              @Eric-Katzfey For now, it seems that the problem is solved because during arming the drone spins faster and smother, if anything occur I will let you know. Thanks for the support.

                    @Eric-Katzfey I am having issue with the new image, it seems like when I am running a docker and I reset for exampe a ros node inside the docker, after doing it 2 times, the whole ubuntu shuts down. In order to acces it I have to unplug and plug the drone to the batteries and then it works. Do you know what could possible be the problem to this. I monitored the dockers stats and the cpu usage is 80% of one core and the memory usage is like 1.16%, which is not that high. This only happens on the sentinel.

                      @stevedan No, we have not encountered that. But can you open this up in a new thread so that it has an appropriate title? Thanks!
