    • Using Ardupilot with Flight Core v2+VOXL Mini 4-in-1 ESC : Min/Max PWM Mismatch and motors keep spinning after disarm

      Hello Modal AI team,

      I'm currently testing Ardupilot firmware on the Flight Core v2, and I am trying to use the VOXL Mini 4-in-1 ESC in PWM mode (not UART)
      The motors do spin, but I'm facing two criticla issues:

      1. PWM min/max values do not match the ESC range
      Even after setting standard values:

      • SERVO _MIN = 1000
      • SERVO _TRIM = 1000
      • SERVO _MAX= 2000
      • MOT_PWM_TYPE = 0(Nomal) ※If I change this parameter for 6(Dshot600), Motor don't spin well.

      the ESC does not respond correctly.
      It looks like the ESC expects a different throttle calibration range, and the output from Ardupilot is not lining up with the ESC's internal min/max mapping.

      2. Motors keep spinning even after Disarm
      Even when the vehicle is disarmed, the motors continue spinning at a low RPM.
      However, the ESC still keeps the motors running, which makes me suspect that the ESC interprets the "idle PWM" differently from standard hobby ESCs

      3. Questions
      3-1. Does the VOXL Mini 4-in-1 ESC require a specific PWM range or calibration sequence when used outside PX4/VOXL?
      3-2. Is there a recommended PWM frequency or pulse width range for compatibility with Ardupilot?
      3-3. Are there known limitations when using ESC in PWM mode with Ardupilot(instead of the UART protocol it was designed for)?
      3-4. Is there any way to explicitly set the ESC's zero-throttle PWM value?

      4. Test Environment

      • FC : Modal AI Flight Core v2
      • ESC : VOXL Mini 4-in-1 ESC (PWM input pins used)
      • Firmware : Ardupilot Copter
      • GCS : Mission Planner
      • MOTOR : T-Motor Air2216/kv920
      • Controller : SIYI FT24 (Sbus)
      • Battery : 3S 5,300mAh LiPo

      Any guidance or documentation on the correct PWM range, calibration method, or expected behavior would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you!
