and we supplied 12v in esc.

@Alex-Kushleyev spin normally means motor spins well when using script "voxl-esc-spin.py".

Here is my experiment sequence.

1. use a command ./voxl-esc-verify-params.py , which is part of voxl-esc tools.

result.

  as you see, the result seems wrong and motor didn't spin well.
  The motor moves with a ticking sound and struggles.

3. use a command ./voxl-esc-verify-params.py  one more time , which is part of voxl-esc tools. 

result was changed.

can u give me any advise in this issue?

@Alex-Kushleyev
Here is last question.
When using a script to update parameters and run the motor, the motor's response is not always consistent.

it seems like script cannot set whole motor's params.
because after update param first time, i saw situation what id 0,1,2 motor spun normally but id 3 motor was not.

after update param file second time, situation was changed like id 2,3 were normal and id 0,1 were not.

sometimes id 0,1,3 were normal.. and id 2 was not..

can u give me any advise in this issue?

p.s Already checked all motors weren't broken

@Alex-Kushleyev
Thank you for your advice.

Here is my last Question.

I supplied power and put pwm in normanl esc(https://store.tmotor.com/goods-580-ALPHA+40A+6S.html), motor can spin.

Is it possible to operate moter with voxl 4 in 1 esc like above way? (without uart function like normal esc )

when i did that experiment, it didn't work.

@modaltb
Accorinding @modaltb 's advice, I rebuilt the FW that named px4_fmu_v6c included modal_io driver.
In Qgroundcontrol, now i can see modal_io_ouput manual.

but there is an issue what cannot touch param's value.

MODAL IO OUTPUT
configure :(param not available)
Bitrate : (Param not availabe)
RPM Min : (Param not availabe)
RPM Max : (Param not availabe)
ESC 1 spin Direction : (Param not availabe)
ESC 2 Spin Direction : (Param not availabe)
ESC 3 Spin Direction : (Param not availabe)
ESC 4 Spin Direction : (Param not availabe)

can u tell me how to solve this issue?

@Alex-Kushleyev
Thank you for your help!
After changed adapter what suporrt 2Mbit, PC can detect with ESC.

I tried to connect px4_fmu_v6c and voxl_esc 4 in 1.
before connect px4 to esc,
already updated esc_firmware (modalai_esc_firmware_m0117_1_v0_38_83faccfa.bin) & params (/voxl-esc/voxl-esc-params/old/esc_params_modalai_4_in_1_reva.xml)

at that moment i could test script and spin the motor with PC.

But after i uploaded another params (~/voxl-esc/voxl-esc-params/boards/esc_params_generic_m0117.xml),
didnt find esc when i run the script like voxl-esc-scan.py. !

now, when i supply power to esc, esc make a sound and show blue led
After blue led blink 3 or 4 times and led turn off.

this is output in terminal

how can i solve this problem? arleady checked tx and rx also 3.3v

There is another question
Is it possible to spin the motor with this combination? (px4_fmu_v6c + voxl_esc 4 in 1 )
After red a manual where in modal ai (https://docs.modalai.com/modal-esc-px4-user-guide/),
i understood Only these production (VOXL2, Voxl flight, flight core v1., flight core v2) support voxl_esc_4in1 and use modaai_esc driver.

If there is solution to spin the motor with that combination, Please tell me.
