Hi!
We are having an intermittent issue with our bolt <--> ESC interface, that sometimes the ESC does not initialize correctly.
I decided the best way to avoid problems is to use the proptest in stabilizer.c , which is disabled for Bolt. This will be a test in much less than max thrust, and is much safer than having the drone fly uncontrollably upon takeoff.
Tried looking into re-enabling it, seems that something is blocking the function MotorsSetRatio from running, but I can't see what.
Would appreciate any help!

I tested this today (only on an oscilloscope) and apparently the prop test is not disabled for the brushless motor driver...
So you probably just have to tune the max power and duration in the test and I think it should work. The current 50ms is probably to short for the ESC to react and start up the motor.

thanks for the check!
it was disabled in a way... I am using small motors , used 450ms pulse with a power level of 20000, works great
