Re: Inverted Turning

The reason one speed controller goes green and the other goes red is that the motors need to turn in opposite directions for the wheels to go in the same direction. That's not a problem.

Can you make absolutely certain that the PWM cables are going to the speed controllers they ought to? (If you accidentally swap the cables between PWM1 and PWM2, the robot will behave as you observe.)
