Telemetry

Use telemetry to confirm what the controller believes is happening before and during tests.

ESPFlight Docs · v1 Validated v1 documentation path

# What to watch

Connection state

Confirm the controller remains connected and responsive.

Attitude

Use Roll/Pitch movement to detect an orientation or axis problem before flight.

ARM state

Treat firmware telemetry as authoritative for whether ARM/DISARM succeeded.

Flight time

In v1.0.0 this represents accumulated powered-flight time, not total time spent ARMED.

# Use telemetry as a validation tool

Unexpected telemetry is a reason to stop and diagnose. Do not continue to a powered flight test when attitude, ARM state, connection state, battery information, or other critical feedback is inconsistent with the real build.
