To set up reverse thrust (for higher braking when landing, for example), follow the steps below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Set your BLHeli-compatible ESC to "Reversible soft" and make sure you're using DShot.
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Set `THR_MIN=-100`.
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Set `SERVO_BLH_REMASK=1` (or whatever channel your motor is on).
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Set `RC9_OPTION=64` for the reversing switch on channel 9 (or whatever channel you want).
|
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Set `USE_REV_THRUST=0` to disable reverse thrust on all auto modes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When flipping the switch, throttle will reverse, so your plane will slow down instead of speed up the more you throttle up.
|
|
|
|
|
Be careful not to stall or otherwise hurt your craft, I don't recommend going over 20-30% reverse throttle.
