    Randomly found an old gseat by simxperience on FB this weekend for 50 bucks. Picked up and brought home excited to see all parts were there with nothing missing besides 15 small screws for actuator arms.

    Plugged in when I got home and to my surprise, all servos worked and power supply. Unfortunately sim commander is not recognizing and servos need to be calibrated before putting back on paddles.

    Through lots of searching this forum and scouring anywhere I could I've learned I could get away with utilizing an arduino to make this work with simtools. I already have a license for it also.

    I tried following the gseat file and found I can successfully read and write to yost servo center 4.1 However, it seems like in the tabs, I am missing some coding to make them move?

    I have no problem swapping an arduino, just struggling with the idea of it knowing it can probably work with what's here. I can't find anyone who owns the seat in order to see if they can send over their settings and I am not yet computer savvy. Master electrician but clueless when it comes to programming/coding.

    Thank you!

    Update, through enough tinkering I figured out how to properly set values on the servos and tested them all.

    I now have them synced and calibrated...still have some testing to do.

    Pretty excited I've got this far on my own to be honest lol.
