New Roli Wired Per Instructions But Forward And Backward Are Reversed In Control

I have a new roli. This one for prototyping at work. When I added movement controls in the EZ builder, forward it backward and backward is forward. What is wrong?

It sounds like the wiring on the L298 H-bridge is back to front. You can swap the wires around and test to make sure they move in the right direction. Below is a great tutorial created by a forum member that explains how to connect a H-Bridge to an EZ-B, and how to troubleshoot when the motors turn the wrong way...

And here is the official EZ-Robot tutorial for setting up the H-Bridge for Roli...

Your Roli is obviously defective... I'll take it off your hands for $50....:D

One other EZ-Robot tutorial link I forgot to post. Below is a link with information of what to do when a Roli has exactly the same symptoms as your's is having, and explains what the wiring on the actual H-Bridge itself should look like...

Hope that helps.

The wiring was a mirror image of what it was supposed to be inside Rolli. Corrected it and all is well. Thanks.
