Re: Backwards motor
yes reversing output wires is easiest for coding, then to compensate for bias, drive the robot using pure code (no joystick) with pwm1 being left and pwm2 being right motors...
code:
pwm01 = 175;
pwm02 = 175;
then see if the robot pulls to the left or the right... if so adjust the numbers until it drives straight... you might end up with 175:180 .. then take the difference (5) and add it automatically to the drive code (pwm02 = p2_y +5) so it will send the joysticks value to the pwm but add 5 to compensate for bias.
or for somethign more complicated, use a percentage (as you drive faster add more to the joystick to compensate)
hope that helps
