    Newbie here to FlyPT Mover and motion sim...
    I have a DIY 2DOF Rotating configured with Serial as per attached image.
    SMC3 functioning fine.
    Works fine with SimTools and MSFS.
    But need/want to get it going with FPTM for acceleration queues.
    Issue I have is I can't get the direction swapping to work.
    Have tried every combination of 'Swap direction' and 'Output swap swapped'
    Have tried various orientations of crank vert angles.
    Nothing causes the motor direction to change.
    Both Actuator Test and Pose movements drive one motor in the wrong direction.
    I couldn't just swap the wires, as this would screw up SMC3 and SimTools usage I believe.
    Any ideas?

    All good, my misunderstanding. Actuator testing is not affected. Needed to set up aa loop to test the poses and then tweak the swap settings.
