How can I correct motor direction and orientation in betaflight?
#1
I’m using Quad X Mixed in betaflight configuration.
 I tried Quad X1234 and I took a look at Quad+ and if 
 Is there a way using BLHeli32 flashing firmware  or do I need to do a remapping using CLI?


 
  My motor configuration the way I’ve been flying on betaflight I set up to match this mixer configuration 
  4CW 3CC
  2CC  1CW
 
But my motors spin with respect to motor tabs in betaflight in the following directions.
 1CC    3CW
 2CC    4CW

You just need to connect BLHeliSuite32 to the ESCs (using FC passthrough) and reverse the motor directions of the motors that are currently spinning in the wrong direction. It's a fairly simple and painless procedure to do.

Here's Oscar's article on BLHeli32 configuration...

I was able to flash,update and do all 4 esc at once and follow article but switching the numbers around and reversing motors I don’t see anything in BLHelsuite to do that.

Motor 4 and motor 1 are needing to switched places and it looks like once they are in the right location the direction of need reversing.
I am probably missing something obvious.
I just don’t see any way to reverse motors.
I did see where once reversed the color will change to orange in article but he doesn’t say how it’s done.

Motor direction I have got corrected but the mapping is incorrect.
 
My motor orientation is 1 3     but needs to be 4. 2
                                   2 4 
                                                                     3. 1


       

So if I can switch motors or rotate them 180 degrees my orientation will be correct.
It appears I put my FC on arrow pointing forward but the 4n1 is on 180 degrees off.
 Can this be adjust in BLHelsuite or does it require a remapping using CLI?

I did a remapping resource motor assignment and it’s time for maiden.

It flies great and it’s getting too dark to really open it up but those 2507 1750 have some punch.
  Here’s a picture after maiden.

 Still in one piece.
