Okay I hope I'm just overthinking this, but I'd appreciate some input. And maybe a brief discussion would be helpful to others.
I have a gen2 Leaf inverter with an Openinverter board, and I need to reverse the direction of the motor due to how it's mounted in the car.
My first thought was to simply wire my FNR switch backwards and call it a day. Is that a reasonable plan, or would I run into any issues with regen, peak power, etc?
I looked through the PINSWAP options in the wiki and thought maybe one of those would achieve the same thing, but wasn't totally sure. If that is a valid solution, does anyone know which setting to select? Is that better than wiring the FNR switch backwards?
And finally I do know I can swap two phases and two resolver wires, but since the inverter is mounted to the motor I'd rather not mess with the bus bars if I can avoid it.
Thanks!

Re: Motor reversing with OI board - what's the best way?
FNR backwards is one solution, setting "dirmode" to "SwitchReversed" is the same solution in software ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.png)
Certainly no need to mess with resolver or even phase wiring.
