    I purchase my arduino 2560 mega , 3 x l293 shields and 3 step motors 28byj-48 .
    I install the sdk and the arduino on my windows pc and everything is ok
    I plugin my board and i play with some leds and worked fine.
    Now I want to connect the 1 stepper motor to my l293 shield and to start to do some movement

    The problem is i dont know the pins and the wiring yet!

    This is what i need this moment. Next step is to write the code for my arduino to receive the data from SimTools. Thank you @prilad

    Look at my Servo example you can use that to capture the right info from SimTools just need to erase the servo stuff and place the stepper stuff in , easy one.

    No reason to be sorry, I was just pointing out that the last post was over 2 years old and the OP is likely not active. I'm not aware of anyone using them on this site in regard to driving a simulator. I guess you have checked out the links recommended further above?

    I found me an aurdino programmer, I was originally going to use step motors but people claiming there too noisy, so I went with servo instead
