Turtle Mode - motor direction is not reversing

Hai, I am trying to configure turtle mode in arducopter.
I configured dshot ESC and all other parameters.
I change the flight mode to turtle mode. arm the drone only 2 motors are rotating but the motor direction is not changing.
Any solution for this?

Did you find a solution for this problem? I am also experiencing non-reversed motor direction while in Turtle Mode.

Be sure you’re using a reversible protocol. Simple PWM won’t do it in most cases. It’s easy to misconfigure DSHOT and think you’re using it when in fact things have defaulted to PWM. Follow the docs carefully.

@Yuri_Rage Thanks. I’ll double check my configuration.

When you connect to Mission Planner watch the messages tab. You should see a statement in there during the power-up cycle that will indicate what kind of outputs your using.

@Yuri_Rage That was it. As soon as I actually switched to DSHOT 600, it worked like a charm.

@Allister Good call with the start-up message

Thanks for the help.
