    I need a very important technical information: I need to modify in the SMC3 V1.0 code, the tolerance parameter when the potentiometer is around the central position.
    Where do I find this parameter?
    Can someone tell me in which line of code I can find this parameter?

    When you say 'tolerance parameter' what do you mean, Dead Zone or something else?

    Hi noorbeast, yes I mean "Dead Zone".
    I already know that you will tell me to change the value in SMC3Utils, but I have already tried to change the value from 0 to 20, but it doesn't solve my problem (continuous oscillations when the actuator is in the center), so I want to try to solve the problem directly on the code.

    For example, this link talks about this parameter, but it is a different code from mine (I use the SMC3 V1.0 code)

    no solution?
    Isn't there a line in the code that allows you to change the tolerance?

    Can anyone help me?
    Is there a line of code from which you can modify the tolerance or not?
    I think the line of code exists. Does anyone know what it might be?
    It's important
