    Hi, I would like to ask if it will be a problem if one motor is mounted upside down, or if it can be configured in simtools somehow. (Photo below)

    The actual orientation does not really matter and motor direction can normally be arranged via wiring.

    Irrespective of that the DIR checkbox being set orange or not in SimTools Axis Assignments can be used to determine which way each axis moves.

    Also i would like to ask, Is there any way to set the default position of the motors when switched on, or is it only set automatically?
