Running with reversed motors

Spinning outwards at the front and back

This page is primarily for myself since I always forget which command it is.

Reversed motors would be spinning outwards (contrary to the standard inwards), that is the front left spins counterclockwise, front right clockwise:

^ ^ 4| |2 \ / x ^ / \ ^ |3 1|

To make betaflight understand this change, the command given is (as of betaflight 3.2):

set YAW_MOTORS_REVERSED=ON

For older betaflight:

set YAW_MOTOR_DIRECTION=-1

Note - setting these values will not make the motors spin the other direction. It simply tells betaflight that the motors are reversed so it can control the yaw accordingly. Motor direction has to either be changed in blheli or by swapping motor wires.
