Problem reverse rotors (solved)

Post by soko »

Hello,

I've built a hexacopter, and when testing, I've noticed that the engines are just the opposite, all motors rotate in the opposite direction they should.

I have not used fittings and connections are hidden, I wonder if before removing everything, I can change some of the code and correct it.

The problem is that when it is tilted to one side, the controller gives more power to the engines going up, so it can not be stabilized.

Thank you very much for the help.

Isn't that usually a hardware problem? If the motors are spinning in the wrong direction (see diagrams on MultiWii homepage), switch two of the three lines going to your motors, and they should turn in the opposite direction.

no, the soft can do nothing for this.
it's a pure motor+esc problem and you probably have to switch 2 wires for every couple.

Hello,

Thank you very much to you for your answers.

I thought it could be modified from the code, but if it can not, I'll have to disassemble everything.

Next time I will be more attentive.

Thank you.

I've found the problem.

When placing the control board, put the direction arrow rotated 180 degrees.

why not work correctly.

Thank you.

So, the propellers were turning in the right direction, but the corrections were on the wrong motors.
