    You can use traditional pots or Hall Sensors.

    What you describe sounds more like interference or a faulty pot than a settings issue.

    Careful cable management, shielding and clip on Ferrite magnets may help with interference.

    Hi Youbuddy, first of all thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I know that some plugins have a built in UDP Relay and in fact the F1 2020 plugin I'm using has it and I'm using it by inserting port 20778 in the plugin following what is indicated by "flipflop" here https://www.xsimulator .net/community/threads/simtools-v3-public-beta.17329/page-28#post-236318.
    As I wrote thanks to this I was able to make simtools and simhub work simultaneously (in simhub by indicating the same 20778 port).
    My problem now is that I don't know how set simdashboard as if I set in it port 20778 it does not work

    Hi noorbeast, I have perfectly eliminate the jaggy movement by zero'ed the Ki. All runs great now.
    BUT, there are no games will give feedback to my motion rig yet though. In testing in SMC3 ant Simtools testing page works great. Any ideas?

    I just uploaded a War Thunder game plugin. Please test it out and see if it is acting as expected. We will add Dash and Vibe if everything seems correct. Thank you!

    I have now a working rig with the game running, what I do is tuning the values.
    And then Error Detected icon blinking when going into testing in Simtools and also in SMC3, ' Unable to start interface #1'.
    I did update the driver of WCH CH340 but not working either, still blinking.

    OK, I think I fix it lol
    If I'm using a small USB Hub, I can move the rig. If I plug USB directly to PC, Error is blinking.

    One more, Roll and Pitch is inverted, I meant that the Roll rig actually Pitch in Assettoo Corsa. How it can be??

    EDIT:
    Why this error came up?

    Idiot question: I'm getting the blue Plugins icon, meaning there's a new plugin, but when I go to the plugin manager, I can't tell which one is new. I browsed all the tabs.

    How can you tell which plugin is new or has been updated? :confused:

    LOL! I looked at your image and was looking for a "red frame" around the new plugins. It literally took me like half an hour of going back and forth between your image and the plugins in ST before I noticed the blue triangle in the upper left corner.

    Sorry buddy, I think the new plugin marker needs to be bigger, or a different color.
    They don't stand out as well as they did in the beginning with less plugins available.
    I will probably update it at some point.

    OK I have fixed all the problems, run like it should. But the Uno have to get external power or the yellow led near the pins if I turn it on it start to lit with dim. I dont know if it's faulty Uno or maybe the grounding? I have added Ferrites too.
    I'm using wiper motor, the torque is enough but the details little bit coarse.
    Is there any advantages using bigger motor to get more details? I mean more smoother?

    No, it's not a problem. I just didn't know what to look for and your red frame suckered me. :p
