4 in 1 esc motor order and receiver port as output
« on: July 18, 2016, 02:06:48 pm »
Hi
Have built a few small quads , and generally know my way round gcs basics.
Latest build is presenting two extra variables :
1)
4 in 1 esc ( little bee pro 20a) comes with a "normal " lead for connection to servo pins . Also a lead that would go into receiver port ( only 6wires , but the pos and neg seem correct) .
Which setting on the hardware page should I use for receiver port ?
I was happy to " give it a go" , til the part 2) issue , but any tips be handy. (Would make a really neat build on a 180)

2)
The esc has motor positions as per photo :
Edit wrong pic , please see second post for correct one.
Even when unit is inverted these seem wrong.
So , can I just connect everything up and sort the motors out on the  page :

Intend to run a dsmx satellite on the main port for rx input.
Cheers for any advice.

Hi,

Simply switch the wires of the motor 1 and 2, 3 and 4 look ok right?

You can use a cutting knife to gently push the small plastic bits that hold the wire connectors in connector housing, after those wires are out simply swap them.

Thanks for reply.
Yes , I think I'll do that with the esc , will remove one variable.
Have found the correct setting on the wiki - "outputs+oneshot" for the receiver port .
Reckon if I give it all a go I should find out !

Well it worked .
(Well , a short test flight so far )
Makes for a neat build with a satellite rx.
The 4 in 1 esc is under the fc on the pic :
