The ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) allows the speed control of the motors according to the orders of the flight controller. Typically the control signal used by the ESCs is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) but some models allow the use of I2C or CAN signals.
The Pixhawk 3 Pro has 8 PWM outputs for 8 ESC / Motor pairs.
Get more information and shop here.
Please connect each of your PWM ESCs to the corresponding "Main Out" output. Refer to the diagram below for the order of your ESC / Motor.
All blue motors should only be used with CCW propellers. Green motors with CW propellers.
To see what a CCW propeller looks like, please see the previous picture.
Also check the direction of the motors.
For safety reasons, remove the propellers before handling!
To reverse the direction of a motor, simply swap two of the three cables that link the motor to the ESC.
