The configurations page is very important: follow this configuration carefully.
Mixer: this setting tells the FC what is the shape of the drone. The shape of the drone and the direction of spinning of the motors (clockwise or counter-clockwise) are necessary for the FC’s internal "motor mixing algorithm" that maps higher level commands (roll, pitch, yaw and thrust) to lower level commands (“speeds” of each motor:
m1, …,m4).The correct setting is “Quad X”
We will later (https://ethidsc.atlassian.net/l/cp/xi5QGdfp) verify that each motor is spinning in the right direction.
