8.5 Set Axis Inversion (#27)
Firmware Version:
Version 5.04 and up
Command Number:
27
Data Bytes:
1 to set the current axis to non-inverted
-1 to set the current axis to inverted
0 to toggle between invert and non-invert
Reply Data:
1 or -1, indicating the inversion status of the active axis.
Note:
This setting affects only the active axis. See the Set Active Axis (#25) command
for instruction on how to select an axis. This setting is stored in non-volatile
memory and will persist after power-down or reset.
Sometimes it is desirable to invert one or more axes to create a more intuitive user interface. The Set Axis
Inversion (#27) command allows the user to set the inversion status of the active axis. Each axis can be
inverted independently of the other two axis. See command #26 for an example of how to invert a
particular axis.

question. The default axis inversion setting for all joystick axes is non-inverted (data = 1).
