      Hi @tom, we are facing a similar problem on two boards that we have, and we solved the issue by following your suggestions. However, we no longer have the calibration files. Would it be possible to also obtain the calibration files? The serials are : M2100000J2R and M22000003EV

        @Riccardo-Franceschini We store calibration data by the serial number of the drone itself not the serial number of the voxl2 board. Can you send me the serial numbers of the drone themselves? I believe on starling they are on the bottom of the frame.

              @Vin make sure you stop PX4 before running the voxl-esc tools directly. Can you please confirm that you did it?

              You can check if px4 is running:

              systemctl is-active voxl-px4
              

              stop px4:

              systemctl stop voxl-px4

                Thanks @Alex-Kushleyev,

                The issue with voxl-esc as you have indicated was to do with voxl-px4 and would resolve by stopping voxl-p4.

                There was some sort of partition layout being in correct so ended up doing full wipe and thus RC would not ARM due to calibration required.

                Screenshot from 2024-01-13 13-52-45.png

                As /data/ partition gets wiped out along with all the factory calibration files.

                Ended up doing Calibration as described here
                https://docs.modalai.com/px4-calibrate-sensors/

                Now RC can talk and ARM.

                Are these files available somewhere to reset back to factory state?

                  @Vin If you can provide the serial number of your Starling (located on bottom of frame, in form MXX00000XXX) I can provide you your cam cal files

                    Thanks @tom

                    Serial Number: M23000001JV

                    20240115_064708.jpg

                    Do we know what are the right propellers for Starling drone.
                    From what I could make out would it be Mavic-Mini-2-Propellers-Set 4726

                    20240114_102434.jpg

                    Trying to get back to a state where position hold is stable

                          Thanks @tom much appreciated. Received the file.
                          Was following the instructions as mentioned here https://docs.modalai.com/calibrate-cameras/ for better understanding of calibration files.
