    hello friends after changing ibt2 For a sebartooth 2×32 the motors have no bugs as you can see in SMC3. thanks for your help.

    Can you please explain how you came to these SMC3 settings.

    Hello I do not know they are adjusted automatically as soon as I plug my computer and I go to SMC3, the values can be adjusted automatically I do not understand that the motors are cut off from the power supply. THANKS

    So am I correct in assuming you have never followed the basic setup steps for SMC3: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    Disconnect the motor power supply
    Make sure Simtools is not running – we’re not ready for that yet!
    Wire up the Arduino (with SMC3 installed) to your H-Bridges and connect to your computer via USB
    Run the Windows SMC3 Utility software and make sure it communicates with the Arduino (There is no need to set baud rates, they are not configurable)
    Set the Kp, Ki, Kd, PWMmin, PWMmax, PWMrev to 0 for ALL motors (This will make sure the motors don’t move)
    Set Clip to 255 (you need to do this first) and Limit to 255 (This will give you plenty of margin if something goes wrong while setting up)
    Turn on the power to your motors – nothing should move at this stage!
    Set Kp to about 400
    Now slowly, increase PWMmax… at some point the motor should start to move. When it does check the “Green” feedback line is moving toward the “Blue” target position.
    If it is then that motor and feedback is wired correctly - proceed to test other motors.
    If it is moving away turn off motor power immediately (or quickly reduce PWMmax again). In this case you need to either reverse the wires to the motor being tested –OR– reverse the +5V and GND wires to your feedback pot for the motor being tested (do not do both). Restart the test from the beginning.
    Do the above for each motor

    yes yes I followed correctly but when I turn on the smc 3 there are already the values in it. I reset all the values to zero. Thank you for your help, it's nice of you

    I watched your video and completely do not understand what you show on it , in general with such settings of SMC3 as in the video the engine has no right to work properly.
    Maybe watch the videos that show the principles of SMC3 settings , it will be easier for you

    hello thank you for your answer to the fact that what I mean is that I took the first steps of adjustment with the SMC3 and in fact I have no engine reaction. I uninstalled the program and installed it so that as soon as I started the SMC 3 there were values that were set automatically, this was not normal. Thank you

    hello friends can someone help me I did a test this afternoon I did a motor value output test there is nothing that comes out zero as you can see in the photos what could be coming from. thank you for your help
