    Hello,

    is it possible to set a delay for individual motors in SimTools?
    One of my three engines always starts slightly faster than the other two.
    Thanks for your hints.

    Greetings, Mac

    @yobuddy i have a similar issue that has happened since 2.2. My rig uses arduino unor3 for four of the six motors. These all have nearly identical reaction times during gaming two of my interfaces are arduino micro clones that use the ch340. Well long story short, the micros are faster than the unos. A new problem has also crept up. The ch340s will not work directly with simtools. I am now running them udp through smc3 utility. Otherwise they just hold position when connected via serial with no movement. The speeds are also different despite similar settings under serial interface. Network interface seems to remedy the issue.

    Hi @bruce stephen
    Nothing has changed in the serial plugin.
    In fact, the plugin runs them exactly the same way and knows no difference in them at all.

    I know people use the ch340's, they just need an additional driver for them to work.
    If they run the same code (clove vs the real thing), we should expect the same output?
    Sounds like a hardware issue to me but maybe an updated driver working differently?

    Take care,
    yobuddy
