In the dying stages of retrofitting EMC2 to an OKK mill with servo motors.
Everything is happy, the PID loops all behave the way they should.  However,
one of the axes needs it's direction reversed.

I understand how to do this with a stepper system - by changing the sign of
the input scale in the .ini file.  However, when I do this with a servo
system, the axis happily charges off in one direction when powered on
because now (presumably) the sign of the feedback no longer corresponds to
the sign of the table motion.  ie encoder counts are opposite sign to table
motion.

What's the easiest way around this?  I know if I tinker I'll get it
eventually but it's a pretty big lump of metal and my enthusiasm for seeing
unexpected movements on power-on is diminishing somewhat :-)

Thanks very much
Steve Corboy
