Starling V2: Manual control not working

myshkin

Hello,

I RMA'd one of my Starling V2's a couple of months ago for a replacement voxl2. Yesterday, I tried to fly it for the first time since getting it back but I am having difficulty getting the RC to talk to the voxl. I'm using the Ghost Atto + Orqa FPV RC combination.

The controller and receiver are paired (the receiver LED switches from red to greenish-yellow when the controller is switched on). Is there another way to verify this?

The output of running "px4-qshell ghst_rc status" on the VOXL2 is shown below. There are no UART RX bytes received, which seems to be the issue. I've checked the output of this command on working drones and they are properly receiving UART bytes. The physical connection looks fine, but I won't know until I check with a scope. Are there other diagnostic tools on the voxl that I might be able to use to help debug this?

INFO  [muorb] SLPI: qshell gotten: ghst_rc status
INFO  [muorb] SLPI:   arg0 = 'ghst_rc'

INFO  [muorb] SLPI:   arg1 = 'status'
