with APM 2.6 motors dont turn in right direction

Posted by amirhossein eshtiaghi on August 10, 2015 at 10:33am

I followed all the instruction for APM 2.6. However after ESC calibration, 3 motors turn in one direction and 1 in reverse. How can I solve it?

Yeah you need to de-solder your connection from the motor to the ESC... Like Gustav said change those wires and you should be fine.

Hi Amir,

You really need to read up on brushless motors.

Short answer, you need to swop 2 wires around, of the motors that are turning the "wrong" way.

Nothing wrong with APM 2.6, I fly with one.

The "Wiki" has all the answers you need, including some you didn't even know you needed ! :-)

Are you saying that before the calibration they were all turning the correct ways? Or is this a new build and this the first time you are turning the motors? In any case, to change the direction of a motor turning the wrong way simply swap any 2 of the 3 wires between your ESC and motor.

The motors are three phase motors. If you switch any of the two wires to the motor from the esc the direction will reverse.
