    Hi all, I have vefitied Arduino and MMs with scaled-down 6DOF prototype, supposed I already understand how them works.
    this month I finally collected all the materials needed and start my 6DOF project. yesterday evening I was setup the SMC3, and finished 4 motors. Today when I connect again, the SMC3Utils v1.01 can't connect to Arduino, I tried to compile the SMC again to Arduino, but failed.

    in the device management showed the 3 Arduino board with driver.
    I tried re-start computer and Arduino many times also. 1.jpg 1.jpg arduino fail.jpg

    I dunno what issues you are running in but as a first try I would use Arduino software 1.6.5. You have to set the correct comport in the SMC3Utils.ini before you start SMC3.

    I had a scaled-down prototype, it works fine. So I believe I know the common setting.

    And yesterday evening the Arduino and MMs works fine also, 4 motors already finished setup.
    But today I continue, all 3 Arduino stop work.

    Great build mate! Before I continue with any support - did you check out if the MMs are ever working? (It is not the issue we are talking about)

    yes, yesterday evening 4 motors was rotating follow SMC3Utils v1.01 and SIMTOOLS GAMEENGINE.
    today I want to finish another 2 motors then verify my design.
    finally I will use stainlesssteel.

    Find the reason, the Targus USB HUB is damaged. :mad::mad::mad: I need buy a new one.

    Thanks very much. @Pit
