DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The MINV (Mode Inverse) command inverts the direction convention (orientation) of the
SmartMotor as follows:
l
MINV(0) restores the default direction convention
l
MINV(1) inverts the direction convention
When looking at the end of the motor shaft, the default direction convention of the
SmartMotor is clockwise shaft rotation = positive encoder counts, and counterclockwise shaft
rotation = negative encoder counts. Issuing the MINV(1) command inverts (flips) this
direction convention.
