    Hello everyone, the middle position of the motors in the SMC3 utility and Simtools do not match. Because of this, the "yaw" parameter does not work correctly. If I set the motors to the middle position for the simtools, then my 3DOF turns to the right more than to the left. If I set the SMC3 to the middle position, then my platform is not in the middle when I launch Simtools. How to fix it?
