    • RE: Flight Core 2 Firmware update through QGC

      @Moderator yes, or at least I tried to. In this step:

       confirm the “Serial Port” is correctly listed
      

      QGC listed COM3 - COM6 but I couldn't determine easily how those map to my USB ports. At that point I noticed that the device is getting VERY hot, so decided to stop.

      Is it normal for it to get so hot? Combined with the "power surge" warning I thought it was safer to stop before smoke.

      I was able to use QGC to flash my Pixhawk 2.4.8 with PX4 with no problems, so I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the port or with QGC.

      Hi, any word on this? At this point I am not able to use this product and wonder whether it is defective and needs to be replaced. Please advise.

    • RC transmitter / receiver

      I have a cheapo FlySky FS i6X RC transmitter / receiver from an earlier drone project, and I wonder if it would work with the Flight Core v2 before I go ahead and purchase one of the more expensive recommended options like Spektrum or FrSky (or the RadioLink AT10 suggested in another post).

    • Flight Core 2 Firmware update through QGC

      I am trying to setup my new Flight Core 2, but when I connect it to a USB port on my Windows 11 laptop with QGC 5.0.6 I get a message pop up saying "Power surge on the USB port".

      The Flight Core 2 also got pretty hot -- I hope it didn't get fried!

      Also, I am not clear from the rather brief documentation what file I need to download and use for the firmware update.

      Do I need to use SDK 1.1 specifically or should I use the latest (1.5)? That directory contains

      modalai_fc-v2_1.14.0-8.104.3.px4 05-Jun-2025 22:37 1786598

      but the doc mentions voxl_SDK_*1.1.0.tar.g.
