Octos are not supported in Wizard.

Here is the FlexiIO (receiver) port pinout for Revolution:

so if you have a h copter and have 2 motors per arm 1 up 1 down do you split the single from the esc or daisey chain it if you wanted the two motors to act as one if you know what i mean

Every motor with his output.

The "quad" you describe is the OctoCoax.


You need to affect two motors outputs on FlexiIO port.

You should do something like that and keep the bank5 (white outputs) for other usage like a buzzer.

Output 8 and 9 are on FlexiIO, pin7 and pin8
