ESC Calibration Failure v1.15.2

PX4 Autopilot
1

I get errors when I try to do the ESC calibration, I have connected the FCU via USB, when I want to calibrate the ESC I get the error that I need to disconnect the Batter, I discovered this error in 1.15.1 as well. I changed back to 1.14.2 it worked now I wanted to try 1.15.2 but get the same error

I have heard about this with some flight controllers. can you make sure that your ESC firmware is the most up to date

I think the process that you followed is not correct. just follow the instruction below it may helpfull for you
Step 1: Safety Precautions

  1. Remove all propellers from the motors to prevent accidents.
  2. Place the drone on a stable, non-conductive surface.

Step 2: Prepare for Calibration

  1. Disconnect the Battery: Ensure the flight controller and ESCs are not powered.
  2. Connect the Flight Controller to Your Ground Control Software: If using Mission Planner, QGroundControl, or similar, ensure the software is running.
  3. Ensure your transmitter is powered on and bound to the receiver.

Step 3: Set Throttle to Maximum

  1. Turn on your transmitter and move the throttle stick to the maximum position.

Step 4: Enter Calibration Mode

  1. Power the ESCs:

Connect the battery to power the ESCs and the flight controller.

  1. Wait for ESC Tones:

The ESCs will emit a series of beeps indicating they have entered calibration mode.

Step 5: Set Throttle to Minimum

  1. Lower the throttle stick to the minimum position.
  2. Wait for the ESCs to emit confirmation beeps indicating calibration is complete.

Step 6: Verify Calibration

  1. Disconnect the battery.
  2. Reconnect the battery and arm the motors.
  3. Gradually increase the throttle to ensure all motors start and spin smoothly and synchronously.

Any updates to this issue? am facing the same problem trying to use QGC esc calibration feature. no battery connected to my pixhawk 6X. firmware 1.15.0,1.15.1 and 1.15.2 all not working. tried on 1.14.2 and they seem to work.

No there is still the same issue, still… I tried on a Holybro 6C mini there it worked, seems to be a Pixhawk 6X firmware related issue…
