ESC telemetry phantom ESC's

[MarbleJames (james)]

Hello, I have a Quadplane with 5 esc’s connected. Since updating from 4.4.4, extra empty ESC’s (up to 8 in total) have been appearing in logs and the cruise ESC data is often empty.

Using cube orange plus, 4x apd80 1x apd120

Just verified to be a firmware issue as follows;

• Flashed back to 4.4.4 - 5 esc’s correct data
• Flashed 4.6.0 - 8 esc’s 4 with data 4 without
• Flashed to 4.4.4 - 5 esc’s correct again.

I haven’t tried all the firmware releases in-between but 4.5.4 and 4.5.0 have also been shown to not work.

Thanks for any help

This is simply that to support dshot on the IOMCU we have to match ESC number to servo number.

Thanks for the reply, I don’t understand how that affects this though, as far as I understand IOMCU is only the first 8 channels of cube orange? I’m running esc’s on 9-13. Anywhere i can read more on this.

I can deal with empty ESC’s in logs but surely this shouldn’t stop recording the telem stream for the cruise ESC?
