## Motor directions

> [!WARNING]
> The drone above is an early build, and it has **inversed** motor directions scheme. The photos only illustrate the assembly process in general.

Use standard motor directions scheme:

Motors connection table:

|Motor|Position|Direction|Prop type|Motor wires|GPIO|
|-|-|-|-|-|-|
|Motor 0|Rear left|Counter-clockwise|B|Black & White|GPIO12 *(TDI)*|
|Motor 1|Rear right|Clockwise|A|Blue & Red|GPIO13 *(TCK)*|
|Motor 2|Front right|Counter-clockwise|B|Black & White|GPIO14 *(TMS)*|
|Motor 3|Front left|Clockwise|A|Blue & Red|GPIO15 *(TD0)*|

## Motors tightening

Motors should be installed very tightly — any vibration may lead to bad attitude estimation and unstable flight. If motors are loose, use tiny tape pieces to fix them tightly as shown below:
