Hello,

All of my motors arm, but after a few seconds of operation one of them stops.

I have tried plugging swapping the output wires from the APM 2.6 to the ESCs and it is still that motor that stops.

The amount of time before the motor stops seems to vary, it typically starts up again after a power cycle, or after waiting for awhile. If i run it a few times in a row the time to stop seems to decrease. Sometimes it will give a little twitch after stopping.

Troubleshooting advice appreciated software vs esc vs motor i think are the options for failure. ! I have read that just swapping parts around to troubleshoot could damage other equipment so I hesitate to do that. I do have a clamp multimeter that I will try to measure the four motors with.

here is a short video of the motor stopping:

thanks,

Alex
