Hi guys,could do with some help with my HGLRC XJB F438 stack which uses the BS38A 4 in 1 esc.
I have done everything in the manual like enable esc sensor on uart 6 and esc sensor in the config tab.
I still have no voltage showing while i have battery plugged in, i’m at a loss now and dont know what to do next…any help would be awsome.
I’ve just read through the manual
It doesn’t look like you have missed anything.
Can you post a CLI diff of your configuration?
Go into BF ----- select CLI (on the left at the bottom) and type in the command “diff” then hit enter…
Then post the results here
Thanks for replying so soon, i’ve been busy with work so could’nt post till now. I had a look over it all and I’m pretty sure i have everything right as far as the manual says. Here is the diff you asked for,hope you can help me out.

I’ll have to check it when I get home.
But I think your missing a setting

Thanks for your help so far,as far as i know it has’nt got a current sensor. I’ve still got a lot to learn yet so i can’t say for sure.
Looks like it does have a current sensor, but you need to connect it yourself.
And when you say you cant see the battery voltage, is this on your OSD, or is it just reading 0.00V? Or not even showing within the betaflight GUI on the top bar when connected via USB?

I can see it in the osd and the GUI,just says 0.00v. It says it’s not connetced in the power and battery tab.
Where would i connect the current pad to? Like i said i have a lot to learn yet… I had a quick los test flight and it flies really nice.
Just spent a few hours looking in to it and as far as i can tell RX6 needs to be connected to the ESC,but i don’t know where. On the F440 it has a pad on the ESC next to where the cap solders on that connects to RX6,the F438 i’m using has not got one. So am i right in assuming that i just connect RX6 to one of the positve wires on either the battery side or the where the cap is on the other side or will this just fry everything? PLEASE help!!
OK i’m an idiot. Just found out by trying different options that i dont need telemetry at all. Just turned off uart6 in ports tab and enable onbard ADC in power and battery tab and Holy s*it i have voltages displayed. Appoligies to all for wasting your time.
no need for apologises buddy.
Some one else may have this problem later on and read this post. It may point them in the right direction or give them the solution too.
