Blheli_32 will not connect to pixhawk1

4712 on github has been working to troubleshoot this issue.
The log file from BLH32Suite shows that Arducopter does not respond properly to the MSP_API_Version call, but respond with a text string instead. Does anyone understand why?

This has been figured out. I can now communicate between BLH Suite and the pixhawk.

After reading, reading, reading, and watching lots of utube clips my understanding was that parameter, “Servo_blh_port” defined the port for the ESC telemetry, in other words, this port would receive the broadcast telemetry from the esc’s. NOT TRUE.

SERVO_BLH_PORT defines the com port for all pass thru communications between the BLH Suite software and the flight controller. BLH Suite softare will only connect over usb, so,
SERVO_BLH_PORT MUST ALWAYS EQUAL ZERO FOR USB COMMUNICATION
