    Hello friends,
    I realized a test plate to test different piloting technology:
    -Arduino mega
    -Motomonster
    -Ibt_2
    -Potentiometer 10 turns 10k cermet
    -SMC3

    But I have problems otherwise it would not be funny. With basic programs no worries, I manage to control the differences cards as well as the engines. But I can not start the engines with SMC3 on my Arduino mega, nor even SMC3 utils.
    And I do not know how to modify all that.

    bonjour les amis,
    j'ai realisé une plaque d'essai pour tester différente technologie de pilotage:
    -Arduino mega
    -Motomonster
    -Ibt_2
    -Potentiometre 10 tours 10k cermet
    -SMC3

    Mais j'ai des problèmes sinon ça ne serait pas drôle. Avec des programmes basics pas de soucis, J'arrive à piloter les différences cartes ainsi que les moteurs. Mais je n'arrive pas à démarrer les moteurs avec SMC3 sur mon Arduino mega, ni meme SMC3 utils.
    Et je ne sais pas comment modifier tout ca.

    I use pins 2,3 and 9 with the IBT_2 card

    mode2

    pin2 for RPWN that allows the reversal of meaning
    pin3 for R & L_EN which is connected to the 2 pads ENABLE of the card IBT_2
    pin9 for LPWN which gives the PWM signal.

    Engine 1 on ON
    I see the signal of the potentiometer on SMC3 utils which induces a pulse PWM on the graph
    But pin3 for R & L_EN is still at 0
    --------------------
    j'utilise les pins 2,3 et 9 avec la carte IBT_2

    mode2

    pin2 pour RPWN qui permet l'inversion de sens
    pin3 pour R&L_EN qui est relié aux 2 plots ENABLE de la carte IBT_2
    pin9 pour LPWN qui donne le signal PWM.

    Moteur 1 sur ON
    Je vois le signal du potentiometre sur SMC3 utils qui induit une impulsion PWM sur le graphe
    Mais pin3 pour R&L_EN est toujours à 0

    thanks noorbeast,

    have you ever used IBT_2 drive?

    RufusDufus has stated that the EN pins are always high during operation so you should be able to tie them directly to +5v instead of pin 3 (at least for testing your ibt-2).

    you're right I'll try to connect them to the 5v and I will give you my feedback.
    Thanks

    Edit: I tested the mount with a basic program, actually pin 3 on 5v still work well.
    But not on smc3 utils.

    I wonder if the problem does not come from my arduino mega?
    Does SMC3 work on my mega 2560 R3??

    Uno and Mega both work with this sketch I believe but the Mega is not officially supported.

    It reassures me. My question is can I monitoring directly on arduino
    A consignment like [A128]?
    Furthermore, when i adjust pot without smc3 utils , my motor must move like slave, dont iT?

    I changed the language of unicode communication in English as it is advised in certain post.
    No change at the moment.

    I would like to test the instructions directly in the arduino monitor . someone??

    hi,
    I have not touched it for a while and I always ask myself this question how to send an order from
    Arduino monitoring
