    Hello, you don't need the plugin to paste in the folder. You go on Simtools game engine and click patch. Then, you select the LFS folder. I also had this problem my self.

    Have you changed the configuration folder to the com port of the arduino. Or the right com port.

    Ok.sorry. I connected everything. followed all the simtools settings. the game connects and simtools reads the telemetry. as soon as I connect the motors they turn but the game doesn't make them move. what can I do

    Have you connected the potentiometers to the motor so the motors know what position to spin? ( where they are) They need to be on the motor so the pot moves with the motor.

    Did you configure the position of the potentiometer when you put it on there E.G show the middle point of the motor on smc3.

    I will post more tommorow about it. Basically, you stop the motor from spinning then put the potentiometer to the middle position then glue/ attach the pot (in the middle position) then re apply power go into smc3 along the side are controls E.G motion/manual/square wave ext click on manual and use the mouse to move the motor around along the right side. To turn the motor off take away the power from the Power supply.

    Hello again, another thing to consider is that in the tutorial video he's using a different motor controller This meant he had to edit the code. With the moto-monster, if you've wired it right, it should just work with the deafult sketch and you don't have to change any code.

    can you take a picture of the parameters to put on simtools? I would like to do it for F1 2019, do you have the plugin to try? thanks
