Finally starting 3DOF with integrated G-seat

Hey guys, particularly @noorbeast , I've finally started on my rig after many months of planning and sourcing components. I've run into some dramas with wiring up the motors (* see photos) . The arduino is communicating with smc3, however ;
When in smc3 both pots ( 360°hall sensors) are giving feedback but when I add power and try to get some movement by slowly increasing Kp for motor 1 - nothing.
When I click on motor 2 tab and start the same procedure, motor 1 starts moving but on screen it's showing motor 2( nothing moving )... hope you can see the hardware I'm using from the photos ( sorry for the confusion ) -
Basically both pots are giving feedback but only 1 motor moving, and it's not the one the smc3 utility says it's moving...

Yes @noorbeast I used a multi-meter to centre the pots @ 2.5V when lever arm is in neutral position and 90° to tie rod. Both pots showing feedback when turned by hand. Have 180° pots ( the ones you linked) coming as well as a sabertooth 2x32. When I get to my computer I will send you screenshots of smc3 and close- up of wiring _ thanks for your time...

Also, yes Mode 2

Hey guys, well I started this project with the idea of eventually incorporating a g-seat into my 2 ( eventually 3 DOF - spring assisted heave) and after burning a cheap IBT-2, twice, things have proceeded at full speed. Now am upgrading to sabertooth 2x32's x3 and 3 arduinos to control the 6 motors ( 200w, 180 rpm, worm drive, 25:1, 24v, motion dynamics). Question : the range of motion I have with the surge and heave flaps is very limited ( under 45°; ie 20 up and 20 down from centre) and SMC3 can't set max range beyond 255. I've gone from 360° hall sensors to 180° hall sensors as recommended by @noorbeast but still too much range to be able to limit it with smc3. If I get 45° sensors, will that enable me to set a low range of motion - and still get full resolution ? I just thought to use motors instead of rc servos but didn't consider the limited travel... thanks for any help guys...Respect.

Is there any other way to limit the range of motion at all ?

I read that the JRK configuration utility enables you to limit range but I'm using 24v motors so think I have to use sabertooth, does that sound right to you ? And thanks for the fast reply @noorbeast !!

How can I set the motors up in SMC3 though if it keeps exceeding the limits ( set at 255 ) to then enable me to limit the axis in simtools ?
