Hello. I'm trying to control a 1400KV brushless motor, however it only seems to go in one direction. I am aware that there is a config mode, but this seems to just be linear beeping and I have no clue what it means. I am using a 30A ESC, an arduino Mega 2560, and a skyfly receiver.
Is this motor even bi-directional? I saw a short video of someone doing it but I wasn't sure how. I used their code and it still just went in one direction at varying speeds

Thank you for your help.
All brushless DC motors are reversible, but your ESC seems to be for aircraft and reversing the motor would be fatal to the aircraft, don't you think?
No, it's not for an aircraft. I'm using it for a rover.
Do you mean fatal for the motor or the vehicle?
When I searched for "30A ESC," all I found were identified for various aircraft power. No mention of other uses.
If your motors are like any other 3-phase motor, you have 3 power wires and a single common wire. Switching any two of the power wires will reverse motor rotation. Have you tried that on your motor?
Most likely you need a car ESC that has reverse
