    • RE: Motors not responding to Throttle

      Hi,
      Thank you for your reply. The board does run the v1.11.3-0.0.5 firmware release. I updated the firmware using QGC. As for the ekf2 status, this is what I get:

      Also, I set the SYS_HAS_MAG parameter to 0, disabling the magnetometer.

      The reason, I disabled the parameter was I was not able to calibrate the magnetometer. After placing it in all the required orientations, the calibration data does not get saved.

      As for arming the motor, the motor does arm and spin. But I'm not able to control the throttle. Could you help me solve this issue? Thanks.

    • Motors not responding to Throttle

      Hi,

      I'm working with the VOXL Flight Deck and Hobbywing Xrotor 60A ESC. When armed, the motors start spinning but when I increase the throttle, they don't seem to react and keep spinning at the arming speed. The motors do spin at various speeds when controlled via QGroundControl. I've checked the RC throttle mapping. The PX4 does receive RC commands from the transmitter. The sensors are calibrated and working. The ESC is also calibrated. However, the PID controller does not plot the setpoint and response (Both rate and attitude).

      I'm not sure why this issue occurs. Any tips on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    • RE: Parameter Checksum Invalid (ESC)

      Hi Alex,
      Thank you for your reply. The hardware version of my ESC is rev B.

      I tried running the 'voxl-esc-verify-params.py'. It kinda shows the same error as the GUI.

      I'm not sure what this means. Could you help me with this?

    • Parameter Checksum Invalid (ESC)

      Hi,

      I'm working with the Qualcomm Flight Pro and VOXL ESC v2. In order to check the motor mapping layout, I connected the ESC to the 'Qualcomm ESC Interface' via a USB to Serial Converter. The interface can auto-connect to the ESC successfully and I can indeed connect and spin all four motors. But the rpm reading was way off from expected (reached above 35k). In order to solve this, I tried the 'Load from ESC' under the 'Parameters' tab.

      It gave me the following error: Parameter Checksum Invalid.

      I'm not sure if this is an ESC or the Qualcomm interface issue.
      Any tips on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

      Regards,
