Motor Setup
Motor Setup is used to test individual motors/servos (for example, to verify that motors spin in the correct direction).
:::tip These instructions apply to PX4 and to most vehicle types on ArduPilot. Vehicle-specific instructions are provided as sub-topics (e.g. Motors Setup (ArduSub)). :::
Test Steps
To test the motors:
-
Remove all propellers.
::: warning You must remove props before activating the motors! :::
-
(PX4-only) Enable safety switch - if used.
-
Slide the switch to enable motor sliders (labeled: Propellers are removed - Enable motor sliders).
-
Adjust the individual sliders to spin the motors and confirm they spin in the correct direction.
::: info The motors only spin after you release the slider and will automatically stop spinning after 3 seconds. :::
