    HI, i am building RC model just like you did as my first steps,
    it seems like i can control the servos from the arduino serial plotter but i am not recieving any data from simtools in output test

    what am i missing?

    Use @eaorobbie's code: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/rc-model-code-for-arduino-uno-2dof-expandable.89/

    Connection diagram http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-model-for-motion-simulation.4600/
    arduino code

    Interface setup - IMPORTANT - Assuming a 2DOF for SimTools 2 the Interface Output should be set like this R<Axis1a>~L<Axis2a>~

    then i am turning game engine going to output testing and nothing happens :(
    i suspect that there just not comunicating how can i check this? upload_2023-10-6_19-8-52.png

    Hello, help with the simulator, I connected everything according to the sketch diagram, loaded it into Simtools, entered everything. The servos don't respond at all; when loading the RC Model Test_InterfaceConfig.cfg file it gives an error сим1.png сим1.png сим2.png сим3.png сим2.png сим3.png

    As per my previous comment:

    There can't be any spaces and it looks like you are missing ~ on the end.

    LFS must be run before being patched for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    Grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Then see the motion profile tuning tips in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Is the ComPort correct for your Arduino? You can check in Windows Device Manager.

    I turned off the antivirus and reinstalled SimTools, but when I turn on the test, the drives go to the middle position and nothing happens when I drag the sliders
