    Your leds indicate correct operation. Rx only will light on your arduino when receiving data from simtools (which is tx the data). The arduino tx would only light when sending data back to simtools which you are not doing.

    Can you get movement from your motors using Describe Software's live test feature as I already recommended?

    ........ guys solved a problem now any another ...... I replaced Arduino now works with sim tools. for power supply use two dsp 600 hp placed in series after a few seconds of testing with the potentiometers go into protection. what power do you recommend? thanks to all for their commitment and support.
    PS. describe just do with the power it crashes.

    1 pin is for feedback and 2 others are for power supply: gnd and 5V, no matter which one.
    Just find the feedback pin.

    5V for pot1 and pot2 can be used on the same wire, like for gnd. By the way, all gnd from all cards must be connected !

    I had some problems with simtools doing tests, I noticed that the engine heat up even if they do not move
