Tutorial SMC3 Arduino 3DOF Motor Driver and Windows Utilities

Hello! If it's still relevant, then I got rid of the squeak by increasing Fpwm.

Hi guys, I have a problem. one of my motors on my 2DOF rig cuts out after about a minute of gameplay. Everything works fine in SMC3, the problem happens on all games. Everything works fine when moving slider on Simtools game engine - I did this for ages in case it was a thermal thing - it didn't cut out. So my thinking is.

Motors are fine
Pots are fine
Driverboards are fine
Game is fine

Problem has to be in the arduino right? So long story short I'm trying to make sure the code in my arduino is up to date.

How do I know what version it is?
What is the latest version? Some places say V0.7.0, some say V1.1, can someone please point me to a link to the latest version?

EDIT - I think I get it now - ino is V0.7 and all other version numbers refer to simtools right?

But I still have my problem - re-uploading ino V0,7 to the arduino did not fix it.

If I quit simtools and load up SMC3utils, the 2nd motor jerks back into action. Then I can close SMC3, restart simtools and everything works fine again.
For about a minute, then the same motor stops responding again.

I am nowhere near my max limits or clip inputs.

EDIT 2
By Jove I think I have found the problem!!! Took me ages to find it, but it might be useful to anyone else having the same problem. The problem goes away when I disconnect the cooling fan for my IBT controllers. I think the fan motor is too close to the whole IBT heatsink and is causing some sort of interference with fast moving game data - that would be why the problem never showed in SMC utils or Game Engine sliders - too slow. DONT MOUNT YOUR COOLING FANS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR MOTOR DRIVER BOARDS FOLKS!!!

Hi I use ibt motor driver and wiper motor. Trying to do belt tensioner and have a problem. Before wiper motor Smc3Utils go only down like on picture, I change arduino and ibt and still the same, then I changed motor to wiper motor and when run Smc3Utils. Program start and I see pot sygnal and then when I switch power on Smc3Utils crashes. When I start Smc3Utils with power on its crashes instantly. What is the problem. Wiper is ground protected. Psu is:
Power: 150W
Voltage : 12V
Amperage : 12,5A

After the crash....is the 12V Voltage still present?

So when there is no 12v, and you manually move the arm, does the green line move as expected?
Have you have you connected the ground between 12v ground and arduino ground?
Show/explain wiring or it is hard to help.

It's motor problem. Becouse when I turn power on without motor Smc3Utils works but when I connect wiper motor then crash. I will post pic

I connect other motor and it's working but motor fallow pot sygnal only in one direction. Why?

that doesn't mean anything. I asked specific questions and you give vague answer.

cant help if you don't answer questions accurately

OK I made a video but if not see well I write it also
So :
On motr controller
1 blue to 2 arduino
2 purple to 9 arduino
3,4 green to 3 arduino
7 red to 5v pot and then to red 5v arduino
8 black to gnd pot then to black gnd arduino
Green Vout from pot to yellow a0

Hello I have a couple of cytron md20a driver from other project will they work with smc3 if so which mode? Here's link https://www.cytron.io/ampp-20amp-6v-30v-dc-motor-driver
Thank you in advance

Hi I have a question. When I have 2dof already and 2 motors chair does it be the conflict when I connect another arduino with this code for motor 1? I ask becouse it's working for me when I wire it to the 3 motor
Thanks for answering me BTW

So my problem was arduino that it looks

No i use another arduino on different port. But for me I don't know. Once was motor controller broken once arduino. I buy a boyer ones and replace it and looked what is happened. So it's strange that another arduino works only when connected all parts for 3rd motor

Hi,
I would like to thank you for all the knowledge shared.

I'm trying to make my first 2DOF.
I am using bts7960 43a h-bridge and Bosch F006.B20.360 engines.

This motor already has (built-in) the hall position sensor. "magnetic sensor in a 5V circuit that detects the variation of the magnetic flux according to the rotor displacement. The resolution of this sensor is 256 pulses per rotation or precision of 1.4º"

After assembling and inserting the program into the arduino, the motor remains in rotation but does not stop, as the "feedback" (green line) does not move to the "target" (blue line).
It seems that the arduino is not able to read the position.

I noticed that the tutorials deal with position sensors with potentiometers.
I know that potentiometers provide voltage output signal. It seems to me that the hall sensor provides the signal in PWM.

Is it possible to use the same program, or would I have to make changes to the arduino code?

Has anyone had this problem?
I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

(Sorry for my English.)

I checked the circuit. Because that's what I can do. And I saw that when I check gnd to gnd there is a circuit. But when I check the voltage output there is a circuit but when I give a circuit to the gnd and voltage I get a reading of 400. So it's like something is connecting. Is it good or not the red wire and black wire from pic. All my photos and The description of my problem is a few posts above

Ok I find what is the problem. I do not know what and how, but when I connect the tensioner to the metal frame of the seat. You can see something happening AND the motor shuts down. Now I am at the stage of waiting for a printed isolator

Hello friends. I can't figure out the udp ports sim hub and simtools in the LFS game. I try to get telemetry on the sale of applications, but nothing works neither simhab nor simtuls. In the Simhub app, I chose port 63392 in the running game and also redirected udp to port 4123. My computer uses one, I chose an IP address: 127.0.0.1 While playing simhub works correctly, but simtools sends data incorrectly. (playground twitches, shakes). What's my mistake? What am I doing wrong?
