Lesson SimTools v3 - 3D Wind Dash Example (with Arduino Sketch)

Hi friends ! I have an arduino one + adafruit motor shield V2 to power two PWMfans. I followed a lot of advice but I'm a bit stuck... I think I need to download a sketch for my arduino to configure it but I don't know don't know how to do that. I put the tables here but it's a bit of a coincidence. Do you have any leads? Maybe I don't have the right equipment? I was on simhub before...I want to be on simtools V3 now. Thank you friends

like that

the two fans blow the same hardness... They are not in 3D... So for the sketch.. This is where I get bad... I was using this on simhub, I can find it over there?
I really don't know where to find the link to the sketch... I don't even know where this sketch would be.. in short, I suck

I mounted my arduino exactly like this :

I don't know if that helps? I put the link of the tutorial on which I copied the assembly and the photo of my arduino as it is today.

// Arduino code to achieve wind simulation with the Adafruit Motor Shield V2 instead of the Monster Moto
// Based on the work of sallerding, Zed, SilentChill, Avenga76, and others with inspiration from noorbeast
// Supports right,left and traditional serial speed output from GameDash (R000, L000, S000)
// Adafruit Motor Shield V2 library is required to be added to Arduino IDE interface prior to uploading sketch
// Please wire your two fans to motor ports M1 and M3 on the adafruit Motor Shield V2 (Not M1 and M2)
// This will utilize both mosfets on the board and reduce the potential for overheating with 1.3 Amp fans

#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE 1
#define BOTH 0

// A default idlespeed is set so that you know the sketch is working, set to 0 for no fans at idle

// Now need the numbers - will just read three and throw them away if any don't qualify
// if we unsynchronize, it will fail valid digits and go back to waiting for command char
for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++) // read and label each byte.

}
// Now turn that into a number and clip to 255 - rely on Game Dash for proper scaling
Speed = ((bufferArray[1]-48)*100) + ((bufferArray[2]-48)*10) + ((bufferArray[3]-48)*1);
//Serial.println(SpeedGameDash);
if (Speed > 255)
Speed = 255;
// Add logic for idle speed defined above by user
if (Speed < Idlespeed)
Speed = Idlespeed;

thank you for your patience...unfortunately nothing is happening..

Still nothing.. no propeller movement. What a mystery.. If I have to buy a specific card I can
Maybe you can't spend too much time with my story...

Yep, I changed all that...But nothing...If you have the exact reference of the card to buy, I'm willing to do it...Monster Moto?

I tried all the combinations.
I remember loading a sketch via simhub software...shouldn't I do this for simtools?
Thank you for your incredible patience

hello, I uninstalled simhub, I checked that nothing uses COM3 (how to be 100% sure?). But so far nothing is working...
