    Hey Milton,

    Ok there's something strange for sure going on, Your stuff appears to work in the Pololu utility fine but for some reason isn't displayed in the Device managed in the same way mine is.

    In regards to the Game Engine not seeing the G2, its being investigated. Bare with us.

    This is what you should see.

    I agreed with you Nick! i open a Techsupport Case with Pololu to find out if they have an updated Driver for windows 10 for the JRK G2.

    The Jrk's serial ports might be named "USB Serial Device" in the Device Manager if you plugged the Jrk into a Windows 10 computer before installing its drivers and software. This generally is not a problem, but there is information about how to fix the names in the "Installing Windows drivers and software" section of the user's guide:

    @Milton,
    The GUID of the new devices have changed.
    It's the jrk.dll that needs updated with the GUID.
    Basically, it can't see the new devices yet.
    Nick and I are currently testing a new version now. :thumbs

    The new version is now seeing both the older and the new G2 Jrk's! :thumbs
    But nothing is hooked to the Jrk G2 atm for a actual output test.
    That will have to wait till Mr. Moxley has time to hook something up for a test.
    I have a pretty good feeling this one is solved thou. ;)

    Nope, not different for a Arduino.
    Should not have to redo the plugins nope.
    Maybe check your interface and axis assignments and go from there buddy.
    Chat soon,

    I notice the Max / Min is like 32,567 max and 32,567 min now all categories, my old screen shots they were less then 75 each category, So i will redo the plug ins tonight see if that fixes it, it had also reset all my axis roll,pitch,sway etc to 0 as well after update

    Hello everybody.
    does version 2.2.5 now work with Pololu jrk g2 24v13?
    Have demo and everything set according to instructions, defies get Output Test not to run.
    With Polulu jrk g2 Utility, motors can be controlled properly.
    Or does not go without a license?

    You use the SimTools Registration app and original license number: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/how-to-register-simtools-2-0.9720/

    You can also look up your SimTools license number, just log into SimTools.us: https://simtools.us/member-login/
    Use the email you purchased the Licenses with, and if you don't have a password, click reset password.

    Olá pessoal, sou novo aqui e gostaria de saber se você pode me ajudar! Eu estou tentando fazer uma plataforma de movimento para o meu simulador de condores, mas eu gostaria de testar as ferramentas sim que eu tenho a BFF aqui, mas eu gostaria de testar outros softwares! Alguém tem alguma dica para me dar como configurar o condor para funcionar corretamente com as ferramentas sim, que tipo de motor elas me indicam? Estou tentando fazer um teste em pequena escala, é possível? Muito obrigado por ouvir. Peço desculpas pelo inglês porque sou brasileira e estou usando o google tradutor! obrigado!
