Darkknight512 is on a distinguished road
Inverted Turning

Our robot goes forward and backwards fine, but right=left and left=right. It appears the speed controllers are wired properly, if did notice however that the LED on the speed controller is flashing green on one and red on one when the stick is pushed forward and the robot is going forward. To verify that it was not an electrical problem i reversed the leads from one of the motors then forward and backward = turn and vice versa.

This is for 2 motor drive, left = PWM 1, right = PWM 2. This is with the simple robot template.

I did verify that the speed controller's + and - are wired correctly and the motor's are wired in the same direction (+ to red and - to black)

I just don't know whats going on. Any help is appreciated, I just got the camera to work and here we are another problem...
