For v2.0.3, you should wire the pins in the J16,J17,J18 headers directly to the pins on the corresponding side of the roboclaw - it is a direct 1-to-1 mapping all the way down, with no wires crossed.

Unless you have an older version of the PCB (v2.0.2 or earlier), wire the pins in the J16,J17,J18 headers directly to the pins on the corresponding side of the roboclaw - it is a direct 1-to-1 mapping all the way down, with no wires crossed. Use 16AWG wire (18AWG would also be fine)

For both motors check that the direction matches the diagram. If it doesn't, for that motor in the `General Settings` tab, select `M1 Reverse`. Check again to verify it matches. Now verify that the encoder value increases when you send a positive PWM for each motor. If it doesn't, select the `invert` checkbox in `General Settings` and verify again.
