Question Need help with smc3

Thanls a lot. It is still morning. I will mount the motor below the seat because i am hopefully that it will work. After wiring again I will go on with your advices top !!

I used tje weekend to produce my platform. During the week i will start testing. Hopefully it will work. I will follow the advices and try my best....here some pics

Hmm, i made my smc3 setup,
i closed Smc3 Studio
I opened Game Engine
The motors start immediately to run. Thats not nice, because of my mounted potentiometers.
When i play with the pots i can control the motor 1. The second motor i think went off because of the quickly reverse moving.
Something is wrong i guess.
And motor 1 is like vibrating when the pot is connected.
But good to be in this stage of building even when it is tricky

I recognized that i can make the oitput testing in simtools without physically mounted pots. When I turn them manually it works. But when i put it to the wheels there is the problem.
Motor 2 immiditely runs backwards without any control and motor 1 is stuttering.
In Smc3 Setup i put the same settings ro both motors. I was asking myself qhich PWM minimum i should choose. With 50 the motors didnt stand quiet.
But i will study the simtools manual again.

After work i will post pics of my settings.
Thank you Noorbeast. A lot !!!

Here are some pics....
Arduino and Sabertooth are working well together. Baud rate 115200

Then i open the Smc3 Setup and it is always saved like on the first pic.
I reload my image and the settings look like on the second pic. I save the setting.
I think here is already the problem.
Coz when i put backbthe pots tobthe place they should be the motors are reacting weird.
I hope your professional eye could see the mistake i made
The picture of the pots is that you can see how i control the motors manually.
This is working.

I am using his beta sketch because this is working. I have all the settings and wirings like in the plan. I followed his steps.
It seems to work till i connect physically the potentiometer to the motor.

Tomorrow I will start with the smc3 setup again from the beginning lilk in the prescription
We will see

I installed new pots
I have straightened the pots in a new way in the direction of direction.
I have smc3 and heard the first one.
Motor 2 immediately reverses quickly. Engine 1 seems to be heard with some stutter, but is better.
Motor 2's green line doesn't go up and down. And the motor 2 turns off because of the protection.
Has the pot of motor 2 been repaired?
I also removed the border of the pots because of the motor 2 running backwards
When I manually move Motor 2 by hand, the green line moves smoothly.
I have to ensure that Motor 2's pot is not restored. It was my old piece. Have to order some new ones.
I will be heard if one day the system is up and running

This morning i changed the V5 cable and the ground cable of the pot at motor 2.
i also removed the small metall in my pot to have unlimited turn arounds. And i mounted the pots in a different way and looked that the direction is correct.
When I move the pleuel up manually the green line goes down now. But when i power the motor up, the green line follows the blue line like at motor 1. Now I can control it.
Is it correct that the pleuel of motor 1 goes and the pleuel of motor 2 goes down ?
And the other thing is, when i take around 200 PWM max in SMC3 Setup the motors are like vibrating.
I played around in SMC3 and when i open simtools engine i can control the motors now. Not so good but it seems to work now.
I think the advice to change the cable was a really good advice. I hope I am right.
I will try out different settings in SMC3 Setup that the motors will move smoothly

I also was trying to involve a kill switch. I tried to put it before the sabertooth. But something went wrong. No plan

After a good sunday i mounted my chair and plate to the motors and my kardan
I realized that even without myself it is too heavy. The motors collapsed haha...
I will look for new motors because even when the connection is working i think the motors to weak.
I ordered from motion motors. Vut not the biggest size. We will see how it will end up. I hope in a good way.

After mounting new motors from motion dynamics and also mounting of new flex couples i can enjoy riding in the 2dof motionseat.
I think I can start with finetuning and try to get simvibe ready. This isnt working yet. But i could upload the gsme plugin from Project Cars 2 and enjoy the motion with my xbox.....Formel 1 2020 and forza 7 and forza 4 i have to study some manuals because this I couldnt realize yet.
This forum is really the best for unsolved problems and maybe my posts could help others.
Thanks a lot for your help noorbeast !!
