    Hi everyone. Sorry if I'm in the wrong place, but I searched and couldn't find any information on this.
    I'm starting to use simtools, but I can't set it correctly (despite several guides) for use with Arduino. Could anyone help me about this? Thanks so much.

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, and advise what code and control hardware is being used with the Arduino.

    No it is not, hardware needs a means to communicate with software.

    There seem there are a couple of options, convince opensfx.com to ensure their code is compatible with and licensed for use with SimTools and others, or investigate alternatives that are, and can drive the hardware you have.

    As the openfx documentation and licensing clearly states "The SimFeedback core application and Arduino firmware are not open source, are not public domain and Copyright (c) 2018 Rausch IT": https://opensfx.com/downloads/

    ok, I'm waiting for @Thanos to arrive. I wanted to learn how to use simtools in the meantime. I'll wait. Thanks so much for the replies.
