Resolved Ouput Testing not working - Kangaroo

    I've just upgrade from Version 1.3 to Version 2.1 but am unable to get any response from my actuators when performing an output test.

    P.S. I am using the Dimension Engineering Kangaroo and I have used exactly the same interface settings and values in Ver 2.1 as what I've been using in Version 1.3. I have also set up a set of default axis . The actuators works absolutely fine when testing them vie DimensionEngineering Describe application.

    What seems to be suspicious is the fact that there is a little red icon between the DIY label and the Exit (X) in the top right hand corner of the Games Engine window. Is this a status indicator? - The indicator turns green if I start the Games Manager and turns blue when I turn on the Output testing.

    I have disabled my firewall (BullGuard) when I installed Simtools and whilst setting up Simtools.

    Any help/suggestions on how I can resolve this issue will be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Will

    The difference from SimTools 1.3 to SimTools 2.0 in setup is that in the Interface Settings instead of axis defined like this <Axis1> it is now has designate grouping for a or b for each axis assignment, like this <Axis1a>

    In your case add an a to each axis assignment, you will not need b.

    I believe I have made this change a bit clearer in v2.2. :thumbs
    This should have been something that was included since the release of v2.

    'a' Axes

    'b' Axes

    Should help I think.
