    Hey there, I've been a little out fo the loop for a while, so I'm a little rusty on the setup. Blame is always the goto guy in general but......

    mdds30s runing 2 motors with Blames Arduino code.


    So I did some digging & wrote some stuff that doesn't quite match becasue I think I remapped a pin here and there :D

    From what I can gather you need for

    MOTOR 1 (Left)
    IN1 to Arduino Pin 2
    AN1 to Arduino Pin 9
    Encoder pot to Arduino Pin A0

    Motor 2 (Right)
    IN2 to Arduino Pin 4
    AN2 to Arduino Pin10
    Encoder pot to Arduino Pin A01

    I know Blame had done a variant of his controller Arduino code for me & I know we did some later testing but I can't remember what the outcome was.

    Start with what I've said, see if it works & if it doesn't come back.


    MDDS30 Pins (explanation)

    AN2 (Analog/PWM signal for motor RIGHT)
    AN1 (Analog/PWM signal for motor LEFT)

    IN2 (Digital signal (direction) for motor RIGHT)
    IN1 (Digital signal (direction) for motor LEFT, or can be used for Serial mode)

    @p00ky thank you so much, I will certainly try this when I get home! :)

    What motors are you using?

    To be clear on what you have or have not done, from the instructions: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/blame73s-2dof-seat-mover.6029/page-22#post-198335

    The code needs to be set to Mode 2.

    Wiring:

    CYTRON MD30C >> ARDUINO UNO
    --------- DIR -------- >> ------- PIN 2 -------
    -------- PWM ------- >> ------- PIN 9 ------
    -------- GND ------- >> ------- GND -------

    -------- POT 1 ------ >> ------- A0 -------

    With the appropriate pin settings:
