Motors are not responding to transmitter's command

However, the only thing I don’t understand is the ESC telemetry.

There is a pin on the ESC connector labeled “TLM”. Connect it to a serial port and configure the serial port. Of course there is a Wiki for that. The above parameter BDMASK will give you Motor RPM to drive the harmonic notch filter, something else you will have to configure, but ESC telemetry can still be useful. The ESC also has a “Current” pin. Did you connect that to the FC for current monitoring?

@Joe_Martinez

saw of someone flying the drone without GPS/Compass.

W/o context this is meaningless.

Well, the ESC can be connected with an 8-pin connector to the FC. So, I assume it should work without me doing anything?

Good luck with that.

Not without configuration.

[Joe_Martinez]

With what?
Not using the compass?
I just ordered one as I mentioned above.

ESC telemetry is all configured now, thanks.
