There are 8 motor ports on your flight control board. They’re numbered 0-7 and
marked on the inside of the motor ports on the board. Even ports are on the right of
the board, Odd ports are on the left. When building quadcopters, you will only be
using ports 0, 1, 6, and 7. Once you select the quadcopter airframe in the app, the
other ports are not in use and do not receive data.
If you want to start using more ports and more motors, you can upgrade your Quad
Starter Kit to a full Octocopter Kit. You’ll get more bricks, motors and other supplies
to be able to build more complicated and
powerful airframes!

Your flight control board has a front and a back. The reason this is important is that the
board uses the same orientation to position itself for calibration and flight every time prior
to take off. When flying, make sure the leads on the flight control board are facing away
from you, otherwise your controls will be reversed making it difficult to fly. If you want to
be a trick pilot! Give it a go!
A handy way to remember the front and back is the connector leads are on the front of the
board.
Prior to flight, your board calibrates to what it believes is “flat”. If you fail to take off from a
completely flat surface, your board will auto calibrate to the angle it’s on.
What happens when you take off from an angle and why? Check out the Flybrix Forum to
answer this queston!
