    I have a 24 volt wheel chair motor rig, That works, But i have one problem, the motor on left spins one way and the one on right spins the other way. I have tried to swap the black and red wire around on one of them, and then that motor just spins round and round till I unhook it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I need to do to fix it? Thanks for any help! Screenshot 2024-07-14 113009.png

    Ok, are both engines working properly in SMC3Utils ? for example can you run Sine mode ?
    If so, you need to change the direction of movement in Simtools is the only way. Ceckbox "DIR" in the pictures you showed
    I unfortunately use FlyPtmover so I didn't have to deal with Simtools :(

    As noted the DIR being checked orange or not determines which way it goes, so reverse DIR for the misbehaving motor.
