So I’m trying to modify my ESC mode using BLHeli_32 pass through. However, I am unable to get BLHeliSuit32 to connect.
I am running an RPi4 with a Navio2 hat with Linux Navio 4.19.83 and ArduRover 4.0.0. I am able to connect to the drone with mission planner, I am able to get the ESC’s (Turnigy Multistar BLheli_32 ARM 21A) to function normally on the drone and the drone responds to commands. ArduRover 4.0.0 documentation suggests I should be able to use pass through, however I notice several of the parameters I would expect are not present in the parameter list in mission planner (SERVO_BLH_AUTO) or if I connect through MAVLink which makes me wonder if Navio2 does not support it?
I tried setting MOT_PWM_TYPE=4 and rebooted the controller, but it didnt show the parameters after that.
Any help is appreciated. Sorry if the solution is obvious - I’m a little new to this.
Many flight controllers provide a pass through option, where the flight controller talks to the ESCs on behalf of the user and relays commands to a PC via a USB connection. In fact this is such a standard feature on many flight controllers it took me some time to find a way to do it without.
Is there any plans to build this functionality into Navio2 boards in the near future?
