@modaltb thanks for the follow up. I'll see if I can secure a starling 2 soon.

@tangotoo You can see the specs here: https://docs.modalai.com/sentinel-functional-description/

We do not currently have that tool

Hi @tangotoo ,
If you have a DMM handy, can you confirm you get a high resistance reading between the PWM output pins and DGND on J7 with the PCB powered OFF and disconnected from the ESCs?
Pin 10 is DGND.
For example, if you measure DCR on Pin-2 to GND (pin-10), you should get ~200-300KOhm. And for Pins 3-9 as well.
If any of those are much lower, then that implies an ESD or overvoltage event might have damaged the pins from the STM MCU or the ESD protection devices we have creating an internal short in the MCU or on the ESD diodes on those specific bad channels.

If all the readings are in that high value range for all 8 PWMS, then our SW team will have to jump in to help.

Thanks!

@tangotoo Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

@Alex-Gardner that did it! We definitely need to update the docs. I was going over all the Voxl Vision docs I could find and I don't recall seeing anything about voxl-mavlink-server.

A flowchart might be nice, I ran into a similar issue with Voxl Camera Streamer and the camera server service, but I figured that one out thanks to the docs.

@Aks I was told by Microhard Support that this usually indicates a hardware problem that requires repair or replacement, but they also suggested to try reapplying the system firmware.

Reapplying the firmware for the modem seems to have worked for my case.

Perfect thank you! I have the sensor up and running.
