    Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure the interface for Arduino with Simtool v3, but I can't find the right syntax to describe the axes in the photos, it's how I set it but it doesn't work, when starting the test, moving the cursors doesn't work. nothing happens.
    Is it possible to see some photos of the correct syntax for Arduino in the interface settings?

    I use SMC3 with its COM4 program and the motors respond perfectly

    For SMC3 the settings should be:

    Interface Type - Serial

    ComPort = 4

    BitsPerSec - 500000

    Data Bits - 8

    Parity - None

    Stop Bit -1

    Output Bit Range - 10

    Output Type - Binary

    Interface Output - [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>]

    Thank you very much, everything worked the first time, I finally brought my simulator back to life, Simtools v3 is simply a spectacle, now I just have to adjust the various options well.
    Thank you very much.
    one last question, some time ago I built another simulator that was never started (only tested at the time with simtoolsv2.0) if I were to connect it to a new PC I can use the same license that I already have (do it yourself) or do I have to purchase one one?

    The SimTools EULA is here: https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/EULA-License-Agreement.pdf

    As long as you are only using your license on one computer it is fine.
