Starling Max 2 Sideways Bench Testing
-
Hello,
I am trying to perform some tests, for which it would be much easier to hold the drone sideways (rather than propellers pointing down). However, I am unable to get the propellers to spin, even in manual mode, when the drone is in this orientation. It makes perfect sense for a drone to throw an AHRS error when like this, but is there a workaround so I can spin the propellers in manual mode?
Thank you!

@Myles-Levine Have you tried with the QGroundControl motor (actuator) spin tab?

@Myles-Levine You should see an actuators tab. Do you have our standard VOXL SDK loaded on the drone?

@Eric-Katzfey How do I check?

@Myles-Levine Nevermind, I got it working through the voxl interface instead of Qgroundcontrol. Thank you.
