    Hi all,
    we need some advice. I've sold my rig to James.
    Its a 2 dof SimuKit, here is my original build thread.

    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2-dof-simukit-build.6702/

    It was working on Simtools 2, on my machine, I demo-ed it James when he came here.

    But his computer is not recognising the board.

    I've said he needs to install the sabertooth drivers:
    available here, before he does anything else:
    https://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/sabertooth2x25

    Unfortunately he's already changed the sketch that I sold it with, so he needs to flash the old one back on.

    Ideally @Wanegain is hopefully around to give us some advice!

    James, here is the email for contact with Wanegain simukit @ gmail . com

    I would hope that he would be able to find the solution as he designed the kit.

    And the discord is here. There seems to be active members

    ‘Here is an info page for arduino/sabertooth sketches and info.
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino-codes-for-sabertooth-2x25-2x32-etc.137/

    there’s lot of threads discussing the simukits as well
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/search/191056128/?q=Simukit&o=date

    there should be some useful info on these pages.
