Tutorial SMC3 Arduino 3DOF Motor Driver and Windows Utilities

I still managed to solve my problem! As it turned out, the problem is changing the language of programs that do not support Unicode. I had a Russian (Russia) I changed to English (USA) and the simulator seat leveled out, the potentiometers moved to the middle position. But I noticed that after these changes, Simhab could not write the sketch to the Arduino uno r3. I also couldn't install Microsoft NET Framework 4.8. For some reason, the program doesn't load! I had to change the Unicode language again to the old settings and immediately everything was loaded and the firmware in Arduino and the Microsoft NET Framework 4.8 program. What is now every time to change the language in Unicode??? Maybe there is some other option?

Thank you for your prompt response. Would you like to know if simtools and simhab will work together? the simulator chair is tied to simtools, and the shakers are tied to simhab (two different ports and two arduino uno).

Hello friends. I decided to try to connect the simtools program and the Slim Hub program at the same time. Unfortunately I didn't succeed because the Slim Hub requires changing the file to transmit telemetry cfg.txt in the LFS game. When the file cfg.txt SimHub was changed, and the telemetry was received in the SimHub program (the blowers worked), but the telemetry is not received in simtools, although simtools connects to the LFS game (lit in blue, you can run tests and settings in the menu). If the LFS game is patched again, SimHub stops connecting to the game, but simtools is now working properly. (I currently have two Arduino Uno R3s connected to two different ports). How can this be solved?

Why is not recommended to run 3 motors on 6 DOF simulators with SMC3 available? 2 motors are recommended using 3 Arduino Uno R3.

83902 hey a year after build my 6dof.
i am using a sabertooth and arduino uno combo powering 2 motors.
i am looking at the SMC3 utility.
and i see that on Motor 1, the yellow line is closer to the top red line..
but on Motor 2, the yellow line is closer to the bottom...but both have the same settings on SMC3..

I have no idea why this is..
need your help
@noorbeast @SilentChill @BlazinH @Pierre Lalancette @wannabeaflyer2

If I remember correctly, the green line is the position feedback that tries to go to the middle. So since it is below, it gives power to the motor to bring it back to the center. The other one is there, so, no need to send power to the motor.

Correct me if I am wrong people.

Pierre.

when i did was closing up the build of the power and driver parts and putting it online back then.. i noticed i had to reverse the wires between the ampflow motor #2 into the sabertooth motor 2 terminals, in order to make the the green line move as desired... i wired the pots for motor one and two the same..maybe i have to reverse them? or maybe i have something else wired wrong? followed sixdegreesofflight and @wannabeaflyer2 's build...

Do you have problems with your rig? If they were connected upside down, you would know it.

everything is working now.. i associated wrong comm port with SMC3 utility....

how have your been @Pierre Lalancette ? what have your rig and time been, mister?

This is not the place for a conversation, but for a quick recap, I didn't do anything with my rig and my VR for months. I was busy working and doing other project. Did not have yet time to play Outrider which I worked on. I guess I have more fun building rigs that playing them. I have new ideas, but I don't have the time or the budget.

i hear you
i recently built joysticks that resemble miniguns.
im trying to get back into motion sim. excited for the new DCS World updates.
i miss all you guys, wannabeflyer, histoker, it was an endeavour to build my 6dof following u guys

I might get back when elite dangerous odyssey will come out.
