I've seen a post a while ago where somebody mounted their APM backwards for some reason, and they were able to do it by simply flipping the sign of one of the DCM values. From 1 to -1, something like that.
I can't find the post through searching. Do

What's wrong here?
Read more…I've started a new page in the Appendix of the Arducopter Wiki. The intent is just to gather up any of the really good hacks that have been submitted by various users in a place where new members can find them easily.
