How to setup AM32 ESCwith arduplane?

Don’t give too much about the EDT values.

I’m using the AM32 Wraith32 2.16 FW on the Holybro ESC on a plane with arduplane and on a quad copter with betaflight.
I get plausible RPM on the plane while Current and Temperature are not plausible.

BL_HELI: Reverse throttle by RC Switch spins the motor in the wrong directions

## Bug report Reporting a minor issue with motor direction with 3D enabled BL_H…ELI compatible ESCs. Observed with Bluejay and AM32 firmware, both DSHOT600 protocol. Can be fixed by changing ESC to "3D (forward/reverse) **Reversed**". **Issue details** While following the guide for Reverse Throttle via RC_Switch https://notes.stavros.io/ardupilot/reverse-thrust/ I observed that the resulting directions are wrong. After setting the ESC to 3D (forward/reverse) via ESC-Configurator Online tool and changing the parameters according to guide, the default motor direction produces reverse thrust. After switching to Reverse Thrust followed by the GCS message that Reverse Thrust is enabled, the motor direction produces positive thrust. **Version** Ardupilot 4.5.7 **Platform** [x] All [ ] AntennaTracker [ ] Copter [ ] Plane [ ] Rover [ ] Submarine **Airframe type** * AR Wing Pro (Pusher Type) * ZOHD Drift Glider (Customized <250g build) (Pusher Type) **Hardware type** STM32F405 based FC with * Holybro Tekko F4 45A ESC (AM32 Firmware) * Dys 7A BL-HELI-S ESC (Bluejay Firmware) **Logs** The issue does not show in logs but is observed visually on the bench.

This is likely caused by using the same design based firmware for different hw, so the scaling is not valid. I’m not sure If I purchased fakes for the Copter but one ESC on copter tells me twice the temperature the others tell and the RGB Leds dim out in different colours, 2 white, one green, one red.

Hi there, I’m also trying to get AM32 telemetry to work with Arduplane.
I have a single Sequre 2670 FW 2.16 controlled with PWM (no BDshot), and it’s outputting plausible data on its Tx line:

I connected it to Serialn_Rx and set protocol to ESC telemetry, but can’t any nonzero value in Mission Planner. Is my expectation right to see esc telemetry once a connected ESC sends telemetry data to a serial rx port?
