Background
Section titled “Background”These alarms occur when Zip Exec has not received a temperature status message reported by a forward hover motor within the watchdog timeout. This usually occurs if a motor service is crashing, running at too slow of a rate, or publishing too infrequently.
This alarm could indicate a hardware issue. This alarm can also be caused by compute performance issues and IPC issues (these cases often see multiple watchdog alarms). If the alarm occurs during preflight once we attempt motor checks, or in flight, follow the troubleshooting steps below.
