    It's now running again. Soon 3.7 will have the server enabled hopefully solving this problems.

    How do I reverse motor directions? I'm building a 6DOF rig and half of my 6DOF motors are rotating the wrong way. 3 motors have "swap" enabled - so the 3D viewer looks correct. I tried disabling "swap" on one motor, then the crank went to a crazy position in the viewer, so I corrected the "crank vert. angle" (from 120 to 300) but then the motor is still rotating the wrong way. I'm missing something simple...

    In the pose from motion - in gain/flip make the number a negative.

    No, the problem was that some actuators moved in reverse, in the RIG, before the pose etc. I solved it by inverting one motor of the motor pair in SMC3.

    You could do it in swap direction bellow the crank vertical angles

    It made the motors flip in the viewer and crank would be on the opposite side. To make it visually tight, I had to change the angle by adding 180 degrees, but it didn't behave right anyway. Could be some other problem with my setup. Anyway, SMC3 change worked.

    Can you write something more? I understand that the engines are working properly now after uploading another version of smc3.ino ?

    Yes, I reversed the second motor on each board. That fixed the issue.
    Checking/unchecking "swap" checkbox in FlyPT results in motor flipping to the outside of the frame (it was inside on my design), and so the crank reverses not only the direction, but an angle by 180 degrees. And if I then corrected the angle so it appeared normal in 3D View, the rig itself behaved incorrectly. But fixing it in SMC3 did the trick.
