    Hello, thanks for the help, I have a problem with the loss of traction, I've been looking at the simtools manual and doing many tests but I can't get it to work well, it has irregular movements on many occasions, could you help me?

    One question, I would like to know if there is any information in the forum about cockpits created with actuators, especially if there are any with more conventional actuators than actuators as expensive as scn5

    It you use the Google Enhanced search on the Recent page you can find DIY actuators.

    Hello, I need help with a problem that I have, there are times when one of the motors shuts down when going downhill or when going downhill and braking, how can I find the problem?

    First try and narrowing down the cause, are the motors exceeding the set control board limit, is a PSU shutting down, or is there a USB disconnect (often Windows sound notification)?

    the motors do not exceed what is established on the control board, I have checked it, and I have two sources in parallel for that motor, one of 21A meanweell plus another that added 200w because I thought it could be the source, but I still have the same problem, the motor is 250w

    If a motor shuts down that most likely relates to one of those three reasons, with overly aggressive setting being a possible contributing factor for any of them.
