Hello, I am doing a project with pixhawk 4.2.8 and I have a HobbyKing ESC.
My question is if this ESC is not compatible with the pixhawk model because of when I test the engine (with mission planner) it does not work.
Thanks in advance.
That would be a Pixhawk 2.4.8 and any ESC that you will find at Hobbyking is compatible.
I have read this post (Ver post) where they comment about the problem I am commenting on. Also when I want to do the calibration of the ESC it tells me that it has to be a version of AC3.3 +.
From 2014? Not relevant.
This is not relevant either. Surly you are using Current Stable Arducopter which is 4.0.6.
I am using Rover V4.0.0 with FRAME_CLASS = 2 (for boat)
You are posting in the Arducopter thread… But compatibility is not an issue, you must have other problems. What ESC is it?
Looks old. What do you have MOT_PWM_TYPE set to? Should be 0.
Yes, the parameter is 0.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have followed quite a few tutorials and checked it several times and it should work fine
I’m going to explain the problem a little better to see if you can help me.
Currently, using the ardupilot wiki, I have configured the GroundSteering on pin “1” and the throttle on pin “3” of the pixhawk (MAIN OUT), it is verified that the parameters are well configured (in theory).
When I turn on the ESC, the steering servo starts to vibrate.
Then, I go to Mission Planner -> Optional Hardware -> Motor test, if I press the button to test motor C, the steering servo is activated at the percentage of throttle that I have set. However, the other buttons for testing the engine have no function and the engine no work.
Please post your parameters. This is a setup problem not a compatibility problem. Please accept that as a fact, and let the community assist you.
First thing I’d do is check the safety switch settings.
I accept that it is a parameter error. I am aware that I do not have enough knowledge and I am open to any type of help and I will contribute whatever they ask me to help me.
I attach the configuration file that I have in the pixhawk.

Thanks for all.
A should operate the Throttle (drive motor) and B the Steering servo.
Yes, the problem is that the steering servo goes well. But throttle doesn’t work.
Is the ESC programmed for Forward/Reverse?
The ESC was used with RC and only forward, but I haven’t change any parameter about it ( default boat configuration ) . However, test motor should work, right?
Try calibrating the esc.
I can’t, when I try I have the next message: “Set param error. please ensure your version is ac3.3+”
