I just tried it with 2.0.38 (from the downloads) and I think that you are now right. The direction seemed to change in the earlier versions - but it doesn't now. Anyone know how to fix this?

You can either modify your build to accommodate this or you can do this in code easily. I patched my AC2 code as described here:

Its only one line change, works well.

OK. Just for completeness, and to make it easier for others coming across this. This is the code fix:

 

#if FRAME_CONFIG == TRI_FRAME
// servo Yaw
g.rc_4.calc_pwm();

if(g.rc_4.get_reverse() == true)
{
APM_RC.OutputCh(CH_7, ( (-1 * (g.rc_4.radio_out - g.rc_4.radio_trim) ) + g.rc_4.radio_trim ) );

}
else
{
APM_RC.OutputCh(CH_7, g.rc_4.radio_out);
}
#endif

 

At line 831 in 2.0.38 in the ArduCopterMega.pde tab

This should let you reverse channel 4 in the planner by putting in a '-1' which will reverse the way the copter compensates with the yaw gyro.

Thank you Don for the fix!

You will want to check for channel 7 reverse not channel 4 (as the other respondent did the other thread did).

 

If channel 4 is reversed now only the servo travel is reversed, the gyro commands are not. The above code would reverse the gyro properly but re-reverse the servo travel.

 

Changing

 

if(g.rc_4.get_reverse() == true)

 

to

 

if(g.rc_7.get_reverse() == true)

 

and reversing channel 7 instead of 4 would work fine.
