VTOL ESC Needs low PWM to Arm

ArduPlane VTOL Plane

On the new ZOHD Altus VTOL I am building, one of the ESC needs to be at <988ms in order to arm. But no matter what I set the servo min value to, it would always start at 1000ms, thus unable to arm the ESC. Setting both trim and min to a low value have no effect. Only way I can get it to arm is to change the channel function to throttle, but obviously that will not work for a VTOL.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stephen

If they’re PWM servos you need to re-do the calibration.

If they’re capable of dshot then you haven’t got that configured correctly.

What kind of ESCs are they? Any specs?

They are ZOHD 30 amps Lite ESC. Not capable of DSHOT. Let me try calibration again. Thanks!
