    Hi all, I wonder if anyone can explain how the output slow normal fast works in the profiler?
    I can make my sim actuators change speeds by using different bits on the output (through relays and varying resistance)
    The problem is how does the software send a signal to slow normal or fast.
    Even with my babelfish translation program I struggle to read German, any help appreciated.

    In your case, for every movement direction and speed you'll have to assign only one action (unlike pneumatic pulscontrol).
    The Profiler 1.X does not send signals for slow and fast, but 8 I/0 signals.
    In your case, you could try to manage it this way.

    Slow:

    Motor 1
    - bit 1 = forward
    - bit 2 = backwards

    Motor 2
    -bit 3 = forward
    -bit 4 = backwards

    Normal:

    Motor 1
    - bit 5 = forward
    - bit 6 = backwards

    Motor 2
    - bit 7 = forward
    - bit 8 = backwards

    Fast:

    Motor 1
    - bit 1 + bit 5 = forward
    - bit 2 + bit 6 = backwards

    Motor 2
    - bit 3 + bit 7 = forward
    - bit 4 + bit 8 = backwards

    Thanks ego,
    I have already set up my output like that, the problem is getting profiler to output the different bits, in other words if i turn slowly the sim will turn bit one on and if I turn normal bit 5 turns on, this doesnt seem to be happening.

    calibration toolbox.

    Thanks, had a play with the calibration toolbox and it appears to do what I need. speed should not be an issue, for this simas far as actuators are concerned I have plenty of speed and power.
