Reverse midflight?

[rvdende]

I know this isnt really useful for heli flyers, but I'd like to be able to throw my ESCs into reverse on my quadcopter. Is there any way of doing this?

I noticed theres an option in the config tool to be able to reverse the ESC, but not allow for both directions. Ideal would be mid stick is 0 throttle. So this should be a software thing right?

My setup:
4x hobbywing skywalker 40A UBEC flashed with blheli using arduino uno. freaking awesome by the way!
4x EMAX 2815/05 1500kv
8" props
3300 mah 4cell turnigy battery
arduino due flight controller

Yes this can be done!
The last rev (Rev11) has a mode called bidirectional mode that does exactly what you request :).
Try it out!

Cheers,
