Rover 5 Motor running backwards
I have gotten around to running all four motors on my Rover 5 at the same time. One of them runs in the opposite direction to the rest :-/ (see my robot post)
While I guess I could negate the direction in the code, this seems fragile. How do the motors work? Is there a simple way to reverse it? (reverse the polarity of the power pins?)

It seems that the connectors on the rover are not wired to be connected to the dagu controller...

I designed the chassis and I designed the controller
No, just a case of an uneducated Chinese laborer accidentally soldering the wires back to front. It only takes a minute to unclip the wires from the socket and swap them over.
