@Alex-Kushleyev I was able to install the new firmware to the ESC, however when I am trying to upload the new params file
../voxl-esc-params/low_kv/mn4006_m0134_6_low_kv.xml
I receive the following error.[GCC 8.4.0] Found voxl-esc tools bin version: 1.2 INFO: Params file name : /usr/share/modalai/voxl-esc-params/low_kv/mn4006_m0134_6_low_kv.xml INFO: Params file size : 8365 bytes VOXL Platform: M0054 Detected VOXL2 M0054 or M0104!

@Chase-Riley please use the latest
voxl-esc
tools from dev branch:git clone https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc.git -b dev
you can clone that directly to voxl2 and just use the python scripts directly (instead of
voxl-esc
wrapper), since you working on a custom esc tuning.Some helpful tips here too : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/dev/voxl-esc-tools/recovery.md

@Alex-Kushleyev I made sure to have the latest version and know I can not detect the esc. See below.

@Chase-Riley said in KDE 4012XF motors with 16 in props:
/usr/lib/libvoxl_io.so: undefined symbol: voxl_uart_init_legacy_slpi
this error means that you are using relatively old VOXL2 SDK -- the interface for the UART bridge (which connects the DSP uart to CPU) has changed.
Are you able to updated the VOXL2 SDK to 1.1.2? and then repeat the procedure using dev branch of
voxl-esc
? -
@Alex-Kushleyev Would rather not update if possible. I have spent months getting everything to work in 1.0. What would be affected if I did make the upgrade? Would I lose any config or param files?
-
@Chase-Riley OK
In this case, please try
voxl-esc
from this commit : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/tree/066b6308611ac162342a716689d1b4ebe82b1a63This is right before the DSP bridge interface changed and it should support firmware 39 in param update:
https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/066b6308611ac162342a716689d1b4ebe82b1a63/voxl-esc-tools/voxl-esc-upload-params.py#L58However, still use the firmware and params that i originally posted for the low kv motor tuning
-
also tag 1.3.2 should work https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/tags/v1.3.2
-
@Alex-Kushleyev 1.3.2 seemed to have got the job done. I will let you know if I run in to anymore issues while tuning the esc.
-
@Chase-Riley , great!
Now, the tools in latest dev branch have some improvements including plotting. Can you please try one more thing:
- use
voxl-esc
dev branch - replace the following file from v1.3.2, which will allow you to use the old uart bridge interface : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/master/voxl-esc-tools/voxl_serial.py replace with https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/v1.3.2/voxl-esc-tools/voxl_serial.py
this will be easier to support
- use
