    The difference from SimTools 1.3 to SimTools 2 in setup is that in the Interface Settings instead of axis defined like this <Axis1> it now has designate grouping for a or b in SimTools 2 for each axis assignment, like this <Axis1a><Axis2a><Axis3a><Axis4a><Axis5a><Axis6a>

    I was trying do a serial.print in arduino from the data sended by "Simtools" because i only have a arduino without any more hardware... (to check if the "Simtolls" was sending the data well)

    I make some tests and my conclusion is that the "Simtools" send well the data from serial port... But i don´t know why i can´t do a serial.print from data in arduino...

    To a people that want see the data received from serial port can do this:

    1. Install the software "Serial Port Monitor" from Eltima. upload_2017-12-31_12-45-26.png
    2. Install the software "Virtual Serial Port Driver" from Eltima. upload_2017-12-31_12-48-4.png
    3. Create two virtual ports virtually connected. upload_2017-12-31_15-48-53.png
    4. Open "Serial Port Monitor" and start a new session with port Com3. upload_2017-12-31_15-52-24.png
    5. Open "Simtools-Game Engine", "Interface Settings" and "Output testing" and "Turn On" "Axis testing" upload_2017-12-31_15-56-30.png upload_2017-12-31_15-58-55.png
    6. Now it´s possible see the data received in Com3 sent by "Simtools" by Com2. upload_2017-12-31_16-16-20.png
