    I bought two 24V 75RPM motors, and my question is whether both motors should spin in the same direction if I connect them directly to a 24V ++ and - - power supply ?
    In my case one rotates left and the other right, both connected the same way red wire to the plus of the power supply , black to the minus of the power supply.

    I'd imagine they should spin the same way. It doesn't really matter, just set them up and flip directions in axis settings till your DOF is correct
