For the esc tools, we were running the commands from /usr/share/modalai/voxl-esc-tools. To clarify, for the baud rate changes, do you want 2,000,000 or 20,000,000. We will try the tools again and confirm px4 is stopped via systemctl stop voxl-px4.

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
No worries. We also verified if the issue was with the particular param file and ran the command to upload a different one. No luck with that and we still receive the same error (Bus 12, ESC not detected, etc)

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
We tried a new ESC, Modalai M0138-1, and that was detected. We are replacing the hardware and will resume testing.

RE: VOXL 2 issue connecting with RC
We were able to resolve the issue. We went to /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf and changed the RC params to Spektrum.

VOXL 2 issue connecting with RC
Good afternoon team,
I am running into an issue with VOXL 2 communicating with the RC, transmitter, and QGC. The hardware being used is the Spektrum AR6210 DSMX and DXS RC controller. The RC and transmitter are bound and is utilizing the J19 port: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-rc-configs/ I have followed the documentation: https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-wifi/ https://docs.modalai.com/sentinel-user-guide-pre-flight-setup/#rc-radio-setup and video from https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-m500-quickstart/ with no luck. Could you point me to documentation that allows the drone to still connect to QGC while the RC and transmitter is bound? Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
We ran the calibration script and failing to see where/which directory the html file is being stored. Could you point me to the location?

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
To add to Ryan response for params, we have the value of zero for the params kp and ki.

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
Using the script from this post: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2522/esc-calibration I plugged in the one calibration test we ran before trying to troubleshoot the motor issues.

RE: Motor issues when running ESC calibration
The values I sent was the output. I did not send the visual plot of the feed curve because we turned our attention to debugging why the motor was not behaving as inspected. We are ssh into the voxl when running the test. I haven't done the steps of moving calibration_results.html to plot yet.
