<p dir="auto">I am facing an error with my Voxl FPV ESC. The ESC is not responding to any command. While plug in power the ESC is only blinking 3 LED for the initialization, then there is no LED blinking.<br />
The ESC was working fine, during a flight test the motor suddenly stopped and the drone was landed safely somehow, but after that the motors are not starting, there are no visible damages.<br />
I am attaching the terminal results, I tried to upgrade the firmware, alchange the parameter file, but the ESC is not responding. I also checked with various baudrate, the result is same, no response.</p>

<p dir="auto">please help me out here, is there any way to figure out why is this happening and how to solve it, I had a similar instance earlier, but the ESC was responsive and one motor  was glitching. it was stopping during rotation. changing motor did not help, so i changed the ESC and it worked.</p>
<p dir="auto">what I do to maintain the ESC safety and working.</p>
