    Hi. I try to use this code for belt tensioner. In simtools works everything is fine, but in flyptmover don't. I use flypt for motion simulator, i don't want to use two software. Can somebody help me, @pmvcda perhaps?

    Hi disko, 2 possibilities come to mind. I had one Arduino sketch that didn't work properly in Mover when it did in Simtools. I found that if I lowered the Serial speed to 9600, Mover was happier. You would need to change the serial speed in both the Arduino sketch and FlyPT Mover to test if this is the case for you.

    Alternatively, FlyPT Mover seems to work a little differently than Simtools with how it expects numbers to be formatted. I had a wind sketch that only sent 3 digits when it was over 100. i.e. it sent 24 rather than 024. This meant that FlyPT Mover only responded at 100 and over. (See this post: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-wind-arduino-sketch.14425/page-2#post-225256)

    Maybe one of these will help you, it should be possible to get your sketch working in Mover with the right settings.
