feedback of blue ESC i use blue ESC with raspberry pi and the data that send from registry when i printed it it seem that it is not correct like the identifier when i printed it it is 0xabab
please ,tell me what is problem that could be made this result.
Thanks
Hi Hany,
Can you please send you code to see if we can identify any issues? The identifier should be 0xab so it seems like you are close to having the right number. The identifier is an 8 bit number so it should not be possible to read 0xabab, which is a 16 bit number.

That is the code
but the signal to send to motor to move is working good
and Thanks for your time.
Hi Hany,
Our website doesn’t allow you to upload some file types. Can you rename the file to “Blue.py.txt” and try again?
Thanks!
Rusty

Hany,
Okay. Thank you for sharing the code. What output do you see from the data? What do you get if you do:
print self.identifier
-Rusty
i do not remmeber exactly number but when i make this print(‘buffer[8]’,hex(mo1.bbuffer[8]))
it print 0xabab
i will test it again tomorrow and tell you the exact number if you want
Hany,
Okay. Can you run it and also tell us what you get for the other bytes in the bbuffer?
I’m not sure how the bbuffer[8] could be 0xabab since that is a 16 bit number. I think you may be getting correct data but something is causing the identifier to be incorrect.
Please let us know your data tomorrow.
-Rusty
OK , Rusty
i will test it as soon as possible
thanks for your time 
Finally i solve the problem i change the bus.read_word_data with bus.read_byte_data
and it worked
Thanks Rusty for your time
Excellent! Thanks for sharing the solution here.
