Any way to pass up on ESC-calibration ? To be honest, i´m in doubt how to fix my copter to avoid from flipping at WOT with T-Motors Panheads and 13x4.4" . Didnt understand what it is really good for ( maybe because i´m too busy to get my ESC32 running in GUI....)

I use the T-Motors Navigator Series MN 3508-16 with 700 k/V, Joerg.

Today i did several tries connecting ESC32 and AQ - after i reinstalled the Silabs CP210x VCP. Had driver version 6.6 installed (Feb.14), uninstalled driver and installed new 6.7 - no changes. Except that i even can´t access the AQ even now

When i selected "connect", ist stays unconnected. Wehn i choose "read current..:" it says it has read, but shows none - and even stays unconnected.

Tryed with Silabs UART with 4-pole wire, with 6 pole, nothing. Checked that baudrate was set to 230 k, 8n1. Doesnt even matter if i choose flowcontrol or not. This is becomming very strange now. Even if i repower the AQ, no connection. Normally with 1.3 the AQ reconnected automatically to QGC with voice-out ( is set to active ), but actually it stays disconnected.

Guess i should verify that Flyduino FTDI and my FTDI are still okay, to avoid that bad serial adaptor causes the problems....

Hi Crizz,

when connecting to the ESC32, the QGC will never show it as connected in the top of the window, this is only for connection to the AQ.

But after connecting and "read current..." i should see the actual params and FW-version, right ?

Correct. Did you try QGC 1.3?

made one step forward. AQ gets connected via FTDI-UART (set to 3.3V) at 115 kBaud with QGC 1.5r6 , ESC32 still a problem : after connecting and read-out no prarams are shown and FW declared as "unknown". Will try with QGC 1.3 tomorrow again.

Tryed to flash new FW, but get error that sync ACK is missing or something like that. ESC switches from Bootmode to normal ( no LED -> red LED flashing) after trying to flash.

Hi Crizz,

I had this error about Sync ACK missing as I had all 6 lines connected and not only GND/5V/TX and RX.

i had only power and tx/rx connected, tried only with Flyduinno UART at 5V tonite, will give it a try with FTDI at 5 V tomorrow

Connect the AQ board as it says in the wiki.
