Hi, I’m trying to use h-bridge-dc-motor but the directions for clockwise (1) and counterclockwise (-1) is wrong. 1 = clockwise fullspeed, -1 = stop, 0= stop and -0.01 = counterclockwise fullspeed. Is that a known issue? Can somebody fix that or am I doing something wrong? Thank you ---

Easiest fix is to swap the wires from your motor to the controller. ---

I tried it but it is still 0 or -1 = Stop, 0.1 = Counterclockwise fullspeed and 1 = clockwise fullspeed Programm that Im using ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/1X/70b45c38b525c7db0f50d72f3d9e94bbb17b7953.png) ---

hi, `fade` work with -1? you do not need to map? ---

What do you mean with map and yes the fade is working properly even in the negativ range. ---

Yes, I had not used `fader`, see if it works for you, so as not to use two counters [count-up-down.xodball](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/1X/0e06d57775892f04190cf047ab459c3d8e07b7aa.xodball) (4.1 KB) In library [nkrkv/encoder](https://xod.io/libs/nkrkv/encoder) It is also count up-down [https://xod.io/libs/nkrkv/encoder/count/](https://xod.io/libs/nkrkv/encoder/count/) ---

It has happened to me that by mistake I leave D0 and D1 in a node and those pins are used by the serial. I upload a patch, which works well, I do not know if it’s what you want to do [motor.xodball](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/1X/ef333a909e86c65d59b90647b791d6226305d04c.xodball) (10.4 KB) ---

Hi! I checked implementation of `h-bridge-dc-motor`, it is fine. Your patch looks correct as well. Maybe values of DIR and PWM pins on `h-bridge-dc-motor` must be swapped?
