    But I was still confused why Roll always on Axis 1, Pitch on Axis 2, Yaw on Axis 3, etc. Is this relate with the 'Generic 3D rotating' I am using? Sort of a template that is specific for 6DOF, maybe?

    Perhaps, I need to use "Generic 2D advance" Axis plugin, so I can follow your approach?

    May I suggest you start by mapping USB controller allocations, please see the FAQs here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-usb-issues-can-cause-crashes.313/

    With the command:
    //#define REVERSE_MOTOR1 I can reverse the direction of motor1, How can i change motor direction for Motor 2 or Motor3 (motor output and hall sensor input) without do any rewiring.
    Arduino Uno R3, SMC Utils V1.0
    Thanks for any help! Kind regards, Piet

    p.s. I found that the change in motor direction is automatically corrected in SimTools (V3) so no need to change it in SMC3
