    then I can do it like this interface 1 and 2 with their respective h bridge and arduino will go well .... and as for axis 3, just configuring axis 3 would configure the fourth axis as well.

    Just assign each board in Interface Settings and assign the axis allocations accordingly @moaale.

    Not with SMC3, 3 max but better to use an MMs with just 2 motors for each MM.

    ready I understand .... there would be 2 motors for each MM interface1 motor1 and motor2 interface2 motor3 and motor4 CLEAR .... you don't need a SMC3 with 4 axis I understand I understand ... the only thing that would have to clarify is the com port of each arduino to the smc3 .... sorry, I'm a little tough, I didn't understand very well how I was going to configure the 4 motors. SORRY .... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP

    Yes each Arduino will have its own com port, which can be found in Windows Device Manager.

    Hi there,

    after a couple of years, I'm playing around with the old/new project I started with a friend in 2017 - When I'm starting Simtools Output testing, I see that the right motor is a little bit faster or the range of the right motor is a little bit larger than the left one. Is there an option where I can adjust the range of the second motor?

    Adjust in the SMC3 utility.

    You would have to put a couple of photos to see if you put the parameters in the gameengine ... and also write in English so that everyone can help you.

    Hello good people. Can someone explain to me how I do to save what I have loaded in an arduino uno ... I want to save what I have loaded in this arduino because I was using it for the simulator telemetry ... and now I want to load the SMC3 code and then when I buy the other arduino one I reload what I want to save today

    A super easy way is to simply save a screen shot of your SMC3 settings.

    One question I am about to test the 4 motors ... but at the moment I want to assign the com port to interface2, the com port 5 does not appear, which is the one that marks the second arduino. com 3 is engine 1 and 2 and com 5 is engine 3 and 4 but in interfaces 1 and 2 it gives me only com 3 port .... because it will be. I already have it fully configured with the smc3. There I could fix it ... it was to restart the machine just ... another question I have movement in the interface1 port com3 motor 1 and 2 and I have no movements in the interface2 com5 motor 3 and 4 these settings are fine. 20201128_203404.jpg 20201128_203345.jpg

    What are your corresponding Axis Assignments?

    You should not use (b) Axis Assignments.

    You only use the (a) Axis Assignments as you have here:

    Hello sir, there is cancel the assignments b and leave the a ..... 20201129_113628.jpg but I still do not move .... in the smc3 engines 3 and 4 are perfect ... a question in interface2 are the parameters fine. 20201129_113700.jpg

    I put the interface - output of engine 1 and 2 [A <Axis1a>] [B <Axis2a>] in engine 3 and 4 and they work perfect, all 4 do not work together with these parameters INTERFACE1 [A <Axis1a>] [B < Axis2a>] AND INTERFACE2 [C <Axis3a>] [D <Axis4a>].

    Double check the port is correct, as the rest of the Interface Settings looks OK.

    Everything is as seen in the photos but I have no movements in axis 3 and axis 4 that would be the two in the back with the second arduino the MM and the 2 new motors 20201129_182546.jpg 20201129_182600.jpg 20201129_182616.jpg
