Kakute H7 V1.5 - motors don't spin problem

I have Kakute H7 V1.5 and SpeedyBee 60A ESC with 6S battery setup. when I run betaflight firmware on this setup, everything is good. when I flush and run ardupilot 4.6.3 (kakuteh7 release) the motors don’t spin at all. tried using DShot600 / normal (PWM), no pre-arm errors. motor test doesn’t spin any of the motors.

any idea why?

Here is my full configuration

Thanks

Have you configured in the correct sequence? What method/sequence did you used when configuring? What did you do to make sure you do not “forget” an important configuration step?

Or are you just using the forum as your first “got to solution”?

I’ve been using Ardupilot for many years. Have no issues setting it up using all kinds of FC. Mainly used Pixhawk and cube. I know the sequence and how to configure.

This is the first time I tried Ardupilot on Holybro Kakute H7 V1.5 and I’m facing the issue I mentioned. Motors don’t spin. it looks like a SW issues because the same HW it is working fine with Betaflight

Try setting SERVO_DSHOT_ESC. I think 2 is the value you need (BlHeli_S/Bluejay), but confirm this with the datasheet for your ESC.
