Reverse motor switch?
Forums:
If one has a controller that does not offer a reverse switch input when the speed input is analog (such as from a twist throttle), could a DPDT switch be installed in two of the motor phase power lines to reverse the motor direction? What I am wondering in particular is if such a scheme would mess up the controller/motor calibration or some-such thing when reverse is selected?
I'm thinking in particular about one of the Flipsky controllers which, as I understand it, only provides motor reverse thru the PPM input (which a twist throttle does not have).

I have a Revolt outrunner (RV-160-SH). The motor runs! It was on a Nucular FOC 24 fet previously and it ran fine there. I was using the release version of VESC tool for android and it runs the FOC motor tests. The Windows version will not detect the motor or run it. I run the RL test and get "Could not measure resistance and inductance" error message.
