I am using ESC32 v2, UT-2217 motors (http://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/brush ... 17q-880kv/) and 12x4.5 propeller. When I connect to the ESC via FTDI and make it start it spins fine at all possible speeds. When I put propeller on, and do the same, I get scraping noises from the motor and very small oscillations (no spinning). In a few seconds the ESC disarms on its own (I guess because it determines that sth is wrong). If I try running the calibration described in the wiki, result is the same. It has been suggested to me that this is most probably a sync issue and I should try giving the motor a small push so that it starts. Indeed, that was the case so I tried adjusting the ADVANCE value in the control table so that motor can start on its own. I tried every possible integer, but result was always the same.
EDIT:
I tried propeller 11x4.7 as well. The initial behavior when I start the motor is the same, but the motor eventually starts spinning. I successfully ran the current limiter calibration and the feed forward calibration. When I put the 12x4.5 propeller after that, motor again did not start.
Any suggestions how this issue can be fixed? I want to use the 12x4.5 propeller. Here is the current control table for the ESC (after running the calibration for 11x4.7):
