Need to fix motor calibration sequence.... I'm thinking that we may want to control power to the motors via hardware (FET Switch maybe?) so we can always have a battery connected, but then have a GPIO pin that enables power from the battery... Need to discuss/propose a solution, test the solution, and see if we can get it on the main Quad board design.

Solved!

Figured out that if PWM is applied before the ESC receives power... it goes into ESC calibration. Main flight board was powered through the USB, then always did this. Solved by removing the ESC calibration function and starting the PWM setting at the 0V level.
