Reversing Motors Mid-flight

PX4 Autopilot
1

Hi, I am searching for a way to reverse the rotation of my quadcopter’s motors while in the air. I am planning on using offboard mode to send commands to the drone and I have configured the motors as bidirectional in QGroundControl. My hope is that as soon as the PX4 controller receives a command where it is favorable to reverse the direction of the motors, (in order to create reverse thrust) it will. Will this work? If not, does anyone know of a way?

Any help is appreciated,
Thank you

Hi, @hpc00003 ,I’m also working on getting the motors of my quadcopter to reverse direction in mid-air to generate a large downward acceleration. In my simulation, I noticed that after receiving the command, the motor speed can only decrease to 0, but it doesn’t reverse direction. Have you managed to resolve this issue? Any insights or help would be greatly appreciated!
