    I'm continuing with work and I wanted to understand one thing , I am using the code 4dof racing mat with 2 monster motor , reading the features of the card read :
    ● Voltage Max : 16V
    ● Maximum current rating : 30A
    ● Practical Continuous Current : 14 A
    ● Current available to Arduino analog pin sensing
    ● on-resistance MOSFET : 19 M: ( per leg )
    ● Maximum PWM frequency: 20 kHz
    ● Thermal Shutdown
    ● Undervoltage and Overvoltage shutdown
    If I have a 12v engine that develops continuous current 14A , the motorcycle monster card can attack only one right engine ?

    rereading I realized that the monster moto can pull two motors up to 14A each, also because a windshield wiper motor comes to 12/13 A You recommended switch? 12V 30A may suffice or some big guy + 12V 50A ?

    Bello guys , I started the first of motion tests with 4 DOF code @RacingMat but passing the sull'arduino code and turning on all the engines running like mad if I put the pots in the middle to stop the engines manually , then if you move them return to giarare wildly sensa having a firm cause ?
    I also did a test with the code 2DOF same problem !!
    Help me, @noorbeast You can help me? I finished the simulator but I can not use it

    PS Both motors move together with !!

    I cleared all, I'm stuck at the first step when you make the potentiometer test , I moving a potentiometer goes into action both engines instead of running one engine , it can be a positive and negative problem of potentiometers ? I can just do 2 photos

    not in this case

    this case could be that you wired only one potentiometer (and not the 2 pots), don't you?

    after inspection , they were both attacked and came 5v each , one more thing , in the simtool configuration type output in the picture you can not find it because I USE ?

    Not sure of your question either but I do notice that you have it set for USO rather than SER (SER for Arduino serial connection).

    The photos I took from Racingmat guide.
    Are not my setting

    Ok, but it might help to also post that when you ask a question :)

    questo è il mio cablaggio è un disastro, ma la sequenza è questa:
    ARDUINO / MONSTERMOTO
    ..... GND <-> pin GND
    ......... 5V <-> 5V
    ..... Pin 4 <-> pin 4 inA motor1
    ..... Pin 5 <-> pin 5 PWM1
    ..... Pin 6 <-> pin 6 PWM2
    ..... Pin 7 <-> pin 7 inA motor2
    ..... Pin 8 <-> pin 8 inb motor1
    ..... Pin 9 <-> pin 9 inb motor2

    ..... PinA0 <-> pin centrale del piatto 1
    ..... Pina1 <-> perno centrale del piatto 2
    ..... PinGND - pin potenziometro 0 di Ohm 1 e 2 <>
    ..... Pin 5V <-> pin potenziometro 10k di Ohm 1 & 2

    così io lavoro solo un potenziometro, ho notato che se si elimina o positivo o negativo da un motore continua a funzionare come se alimentata dalla staffa, potrebbe creare problemi? @RacingMat

    USO is in the beta version... I should update a bit :oops: but i'm waiting for V2! :)

    you HAVE TO wire both potentiometers, if not, the arduino outputs are floating and motomonster won't react correctly

    potentiometers are all attached but only by moving a potentiometer working properly and the other works only from one direction , and both move both engines simultaneously !!
    the engines are both attached to the structure and saw that eliminating the positive of a motor continues to run also , it is possible that it is not isolated from each other if an engine is moving is also moving the other excluding the potentiometer ?

    simulator arranged guys ,
    I do not know where it comes from but I have the mass that runs through the frame and sent haywire all, I now have isolated potentiometers and engines and all is well .
    after turning it on and seeing if everything finzionava I found that while performing the roll while the engines are fast pitch with the speed of the motor drops more than double , and is very slow . why?

    Good news!

    roll speed is fast and pitch speed is low?
    are you sending manually commands through Arduino IDE? or are you using Simtools Outputs (because a setup in Simtools can do this on purpose)

    I'm using simtool , to simulate acceleration and braking should I use pitch or Surge?

    don't bypass the steps ;-)

    first, power the motor in both ways directly (PSU <-> Motor): are the speeds different?

    second, use the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor

    third, use Simtools test Output panel

    Hello guys , as I have previously written the movements are slow moving them with the testing output , I decided to try playing to feel the feelings , but I do not understand why soon as I plug the USB cable of my logitech g25 Arduino starts giving numbers , you disconnect and reconnect automatically by itself , why?
