    Hi,

    What do I have to write at the interface output in simtools to communicate with xsimCTRL?

    I am using AB<255><Axis1><Axis2> but that doesn't seem to work.

    Sorry if I missed some thing ... They can't communicate with each other ...
    "SimTools" and "xsimCTRL" are separate S/W with separate functions ... they are designed to communicate with a motion controller board like Arduino ...
    xsimCTRL is a helping S/W tool to configure and adjust PID variables in it's corresponding F/W flashed on the controller ...
    Then comes the SimTools which has the ability to extract game data in "Game Engine " and send it to the controller using this specific compatible interface output command line "AB<255><Axis1><Axis2> " for the F/W on the controller ...

    there is a preset for such interface you can view it here .
