    Hi guys,

    So without the motors connect I can see in SMC3 that if I move the POT left or right the green line will go up or down. when I follow the the steps of the tutorial for Arduino step five i set everything at 0 then i got step 6 and set the values and I see the lines setting them selves and the positions they should be. then I plug the motor 1 and nothing should which is the case. i set the kp at 400, and slowly increase the PWMAX but nothing is moving from motor 1, I did the same thing with motor 2 and same result. what am i doing wrong?

    Hard telling from just this. Screen shots of your settings is a good start and pictures of the wiring might help. You could check with a multimeter at the motor to see if any voltage is present.

    In that case please post pictures of all of your settings and wiring.
