Caleb, It may matter which way you choose to define as CW or CCW and consequently which motor/controller connections you use. Some brushed DC motors are neutrally timed (same maximum speed/torque in both directions). Most brushed DC motors are not neutrally timed. They provide more speed/torque in one direction versus the other other by subtle shift in brush locations. I do not yet know if that controller emulates neutral timing or if it biases timing to provide increased maximum speed/torque in one direction.
