[Build Tips] - How to mount your FC in any direction - [Motor Remapping]

*this is for FC's which have motor/ESC pads LOCATED ON THE CORNERS or if you have a AIO stack, this is NOT needed otherwise**

Have you ever needed to mount your FC differently from what the arrow says or what the MFG intended? Maybe the USB is coming out the wrong side on your build, or perhaps it would just be easier to mount your FC upside down, sideways, etc... BUT YOU WANT TO KEEO THE WIRING CLEAN. I go through 2 different examples (rotating the FC -90, and mounting the FC upside down) and show you how to mount your FC, however you like, all while keeping the wiring clean. This is essentially "resource remapping" in betaflight. While the video shows how to do this for motors, the same commands can be used to reassign anything you want to in betaflight.
