    Hello Guys...

    I am Chetan, and right now I am building a 2 DOF racing motion seat simulator. And I am using X-sim software, JRK 12 v 12 Pololu microcontrollers and potentiometer for the feedback.
    And I did all the necessary connections and configurations according to the links on the website...
    Pololu and X-sim quick guide...

    But now I am facing few problems...
    1) Even though I am getting the input values in the X-sim converter, the motors are not moving according to these virtual values.
    The motors move only if I slightly rotate the potentiometer, and stop as soon as I stop rotating the potentiometer.
    2) And sometimes they keep vibrating at the target value (given in Jrk configuration utility), and after 20 to 25 seconds, the motor stops because of the error "Motor drive error". Intially I thought this might be because of over heating, so I used a fan. But still the error exists.
    I am stuck and don't know what to do ahead, So guys please help me out.
    I will even upload a pic so that you guys get an idea...

    This isn't X- sim.de Country. This is Xsimulator.net and Simtools Territory.


    This is where you need to go.. The Other Guys.

    Just use the Simtools program instead of x-sim. We here discuss about simulators and Simtools. If you want to discuss x-sim, the other forum is more adequate.
    Welcome anyway ;)
