Calibration Fails with Absolute Encoder

Whenever I run the full calibration it fails. When I run dump_erros(odrv0) I get the following:

axis0
axis: no error
motor: no error
encoder: no error
controller: no error
axis1
axis: Error(s):

I am using the v 3.6 56V Odrive
I have the AS5048A as my encoder in absolute pos mode (Using SPI)
I am using the razors-edge branch firmware
For the motor I am using the 100KV Turnigy Multistar

The encoder works flawlessly. My config settings are as follows:

When I trigger calibration the motor moves slightly and then stops. Calibration never completes

Solved:

I checked the odrv0.axis1.motor.error which was 0x80

This lead me to the following:

ERROR_MODULATION_MAGNITUDE = 0x0080

My issue was that odrv0.axis1.motor.resistance_calib_max_voltage was set to VBUS (16V for me )
when it is suppose to be VBUS/2

Setting it to 8 solved my problem
