INFO

This list is auto-generated from the source code using the build command: make airframe_metadata.

This page lists all supported airframes and types including the motor assignment and numbering. The motors in green rotate clockwise, the ones in blue counterclockwise.

AUX channels may not be present on some flight controllers. If present, PWM AUX channels are commonly labelled AUX OUT.
