The problem:
I’m currently trying to setup my first navio2 drone so I’m by no means experienced with the technology. Currently I’m trying to calibrate the ESCs after I performed all previous steps in the setup using Mission Planner. Unforntunately for some reason I am unable to calibrate the ESCs. When I click the calibrate button nothing happens, the following are the steps I have taken in this stage:
1. Set MOT_PWM_TYPE to 4 as I’m using Dshot ESCs
2. Started ESC calibration process
3. Disconnected Battery
4. Turned on transmitter and pushed the throttle to full
5. Re-connected battery
6. ESCs do an inital 1 2 3 beep
7. Calibration button remains depressed and I can’t cancel it without closing Mission Planner
I haven’t done any flashing to these as I’ve assumed that they already have the firmware flashed (this might be where I’m going wrong). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So should I be using somthing like the bheli configurator. I’ve got a usb male to male cable coming today so I can connect the Navio to my Windows machine. Then should I just manually configure the ESCs?
As I wrote, dShot esc is calibrated in factory. So no need to redo it unless you want to pinpoint the PWM in the 1000-2000 range. You must follow BLHeli wiki to do that (if you really do?).
