    I setup an Arduino driven harness tensioner from seat time today. I set it up as axis 1b and it works just fine. Trying to fine tune it I had seen that you can enter different tuning center values for a and b axis. However I cannot find that option in the tuning center. There is only a general min/max value without the a or b option. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need a different version. Also: Where can I find out which version of the game engine I have installed?

    does it use the smc3 program to control it ? -- you may need to connect directly to the board to tune it

    It is a regular Arduino. Additional info: All axis are set uo as Generic 2D Advanced.

    @Alexander Asner,
    Please goto the tools page of Game Engine and set the Game Engine Mode to 'Expert'.
    After you do that, you will have separate Min/Max files per A vs B axis assignments.
    Take care!

    Great! Thank you. I am quite sure this is the part I missed. I will try it as soon as I get home and confirm.

    I have found it and that was what I was missing. I had to upgrade to the latest version though. The old version I was using did not even have hat option. Thanks for the help!
