Reconfiguring motors/ESC numbers

Hi everyone,

First post on the forum, I’ve recently started constructing my first arducopter build and I’m about to start wiring my motors to a 4 in 1 ESC.

However, I’ve noticed if I want the ESC to fit in the frame with the battery plug pointing backwards the motor numbers don’t align directly according to the wiki.

Is their a way I can reconfigure the motor mapping so I don’t have to wire the motors over the board?

Cheers,
Tom

Yes it is possible, although can get a bit trial and error to get everything mapped out correctly. you can change the servoX functions in the parameters list to do it.

Just select BetaflightX as the FRAME_TYPE and it will be right with that ESC w/o reconfiguring anything.
