    I've had a static SIM for awhile. I decided to make the leap and try motion. I eventually landed here. After watching D-max's videos I'm like that is totally doable. Well I'm stuck. I'm going to delete all programs. Redownload and try again. My issue is motor one. This is the right motor on my rig. I got every thing to work perfectly except pitch. Motor one runs in reverse. I uncoded line 13 and it still ran reverse. I turned on reverse in the game engine it still ran reverse of what it was supposed to do. Troubleshooting this issue i found even the pot is reading reverse. I turn the dial down the line goes up in smc. What am I doing wrong? Please help. I've included pics of the rig to make sense of motor one and two. 20240326_152528.jpg 20240326_153025.jpg 20240326_153119.jpg 20240326_152528.jpg 20240326_153025.jpg 20240326_153119.jpg

    A motor running the wrong way can likely be corrected by switching its wires around to the controller.

    Or you could just leave it and compensate via the DIR settings in SimTools, which determine which way a motor moves for a given axis.

    Thank you for the response. That things I tried. Unless I did it wrong. I selected the box to make the motor run reverse. The box was red. It still ran the wrong way. I attempted to switch the wires on the power supply and it burned out the Ibt. Wait..... You saying switch the wires on the Ibt. Let me try that in the morning when I get home from work. Thank you
