Tutorial SMC3 Arduino 3DOF Motor Driver and Windows Utilities

@Pit @RufusDufus @noorbeast @SilentChill
Hello friends !
I need an urgent help
I'm having problems with the SMC3 program and with the simtools.
When I open the program with the power source turned off everything works, but as soon as I turn the power on within 30 seconds the program stops responding.
I have refit all the wiring, deactivated the antiviros, and the windows defend and nothing solved.
I'm using an adu3 uno r3 with the ibt2 7960
The same problem occurs with the simtools.
please help me solve this problem!

strange problem, can not use another pc?

I've already connected to another pc and the same problem occurs!
I've already connected to another pc and the same problem occurs!

I open the SMC3 and everything works correctly even with the power supply on.

But when I click on square, so I can check the progress of the motors, they work correctly for just a few seconds and the TX of the arduino board that stays on blinks and then the SMC3 hangs

I thought the problem was with my H bridge drivers.
But as the motors are responding as they should, I believe it's not a spinning problem!
The motors move in all directions correctly until the arduino flashes the TX led.
So at this point, smc3 crashes and stops working. and this is happening with the simtools as well

I don't know if it makes a difference but I notice you have a different version of arduino smc3 to Windows utility

I'm using these versions

Really doubtful but have you tried opening the 0.63 utility?

[QUOTE = "sam poole, post: 157055, membro: 27964"] Realmente duvidoso, mas você já tentou abrir o utilitário 0.63? [/ QUOTE]

I do not know what could be happening!
After several tests, I decided to change the socket and the program stabilized.
My PC and my SimTools were connected to the same outlet and for this reason it did not work!
Anyone have any idea why this happens?

Does not have any sense that fails to be in the same socket, now works well?

What happens, if you do not start SMC3 util but the arduino program and its console and send a command to move the motors in this environment ?

the error occurs in both smc3 and simtools.
The strange thing is that I took the power outlet, in which the pc and the motion were connected and everything went back to normal!
I can not understand why it stops working if the simulator source is connected with the pc on the same network!

grounding issue?

Great work! Thanks for sharing

Вем Доброго дня) Подскажите плиз - вот в CMS3 всё работает двигатели повторяют кривые заданные синусоиду, сейчас с этим скетчем можно работать в SimTools и с тем же подключением по пинам в ардуино и мотошелд у меня схема собрана по MODE1 или нужен другой скетч и зеркальное подключение мотошелда и ардуино то есть 5 к 5 4 к 4 контакту и т.д.?!

Новый день Доброго Дня) Подскажите плиз - здесь, в CMS3, все работает, двигатели повторяют кривые, заданные синусоидой, теперь с помощью этого эскиза вы можете работать в SimTools и с тем же соединением на штифтах в arduino и motoshedd. У меня есть схема, собранная MODE1, или вам нужен еще один мостольд с эскизом и зеркальным соединением и ардуино, который имеет 5-5-4-4 контактов и т. Д.?!

Имейте в виду, что вы можете писать на двух языках, но это часть правил форума, в которую вы также включаете английский, делая это через Google Translate в порядке: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/forum-rules.9527 /

Тем не менее я не уверен, что понимаю вашу проблему. Я прав, полагая, что все работает нормально в SMC3, но у вас есть проблема с подключением к SimTools.

Если да, можете ли вы разместить фотографии всех ваших настроек. [/ QU

Sorry, I just do not know well English (((And a newcomer to the forums you can say the first time in my life))))In the program SMC3, everything works and now there is a question - to work with SIMTools you need already another code is arduino or it is possible with the same code (sketch) to work in SIMTools - the picture I attach tomorrow to the message of SIMTools settings correctly they are there or not)

Добрый день) С SimTools разобрался в настройках но есть один вопрос - когда захожу в раздел Output Testing и нажимаю Turn On то двигатели из центрального положения разбегаются в разные стороны и замирают но на изменения ползунков реагируют и поворачиваются - вопрос в том почему так, так как в SMC3 когда программу запускаю двигатели в нулевом положении, прикрепляю изображения настроек!

Hi to all. I thought that the configuration was going to be easy, for that reason I paid for the simtools program; but I have read several tutorials, in the whole, looking for an answer to why the motors of the simulator can not start. All the wiring and programming of the arduino card UNO together with the sabertooth 2x32a are configured as indicated by the forums, but no, I can not make the simulator work. I really feel like I've wasted time and money trying to build a 2dof simulator.
The simtools program detects the arduino card, also the program smc3 moves the motors, but at the moment of starting the game (lfs, rfactor2, ams, assetto, all patched), there is no movement. Maybe it's some Pid configuration, but that's precisely the problem.
I have tried several arduino cards, thinking that maybe it could be defective, but the problem persists.
I have read that some people have had the same problem, but I have not found the solution.
I have tried everything, changing the configuration of the language in windows 7, and I can not solve it.
Maybe the administrator is already tired of reading that many people can not make their simulator work. I hope he has the patience to explain the reason for my problem.
Thank you very much.
