# voxl-configure-mpa failled on voxl-esc step Source: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2805/voxl-configure-mpa-failled-on-voxl-esc-step Category: General Questions (https://forum.modalai.com/category/2/general-questions) Posted: 2023-11-01 22:12:09 UTC by Cai Bill Replies: 11 · Views: 2377 ## Cai Bill · 2023-11-01 22:12:09 UTC I was trying to get the drone flying again, so I tried the voxl-configure-mpa to reset all service. But It failed on voxl-esc setup_sentinel_v. Should I be worried? How should I fix this problem.

When power is given to the drone do the LEDs on the ESC light up? Does it make any noise? ## Reply by Cai Bill · 2023-11-01 22:38:16 UTC (in reply to tom) @tom When I power on the drone, the ESC does light up blue and flash for a bit, then it turned off. The drone makes boot on noise. I check the wiring, all joint are connected to the broad. ## Reply by Cai Bill · 2023-11-01 22:58:01 UTC ``` voxl2:~$ px4-qshell modalai_esc INFO [qshell] Send cmd: 'modalai_esc' ERROR [uORB] Error Sending [qshell_req] topic data over comm_channel ERROR [qshell] command timed out ERROR [qshell] Command failed voxl2:~$ px4-listener esc_status never published ``` I also tried px4-qshell modalai_esc and px4-listener esc_status, Both of them failed ## Reply by Cai Bill · 2023-11-03 21:52:41 UTC (in reply to tom) @tom Hi Tom, I'm still unable to figure out what happen to the ESC, I can only suspected the firmware or the wiring. Do you guys offer mailed in repair? ## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2023-11-03 22:00:02 UTC (in reply to Cai Bill) @Cai-Bill We do: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma but I suspect it is a wiring / cable issue given the ESC is lighting up and the motors are chiming as expected ## Reply by smilon · 2023-12-14 13:44:10 UTC Any updates on this @Cai-Bill ? Was it a hardware-related issue? I am facing something similar. ## Reply by Alex Kushleyev (ModalAI staff) · 2023-12-15 16:05:40 UTC (in reply to smilon) @smilon Hello, if you are seeing the following error: `Error calling voxl_uart_init` , then there is some mismatch between the `voxl-esc` tools and `libvoxl_io` library or a similar issue. Please update to the latest SDK 1.1.1 to get everything in sync. Thank you Alex ## Reply by Eric Katzfey (ModalAI staff) · 2023-12-16 16:33:24 UTC (in reply to Alex Kushleyev) @Alex-Kushleyev I agree, seems like a version mismatch. The newest SDK 1.1.2 was just released yesterday so we recommend you load that and try again. ## Reply by smilon · 2023-12-18 09:13:27 UTC @Alex-Kushleyev @Eric-Katzfey Thank you for clearing this up. I am trying to install SDK 1.1.2 but my host machine can't discover the VOXL2 as a fastboot device (I have made an issue [here](https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2956/voxl2-unbricking-starlingv2-forced-fastboot-mode-doesn-t-work/3?_=1702890647711)). I would appreciate if you have any recommendations to hop on there as it is an urgent issue.
