    I solve it, the problem was there was broken cable, lol,
    but i have ne issue now , the motor work great with 600w psu, but when i increase the pwmax,pwmin in smc3 the motor not moving why? the psu is good and the motor 300w, and the motor not connected to body so no weghit, but when the pwmax and min set in 70 its work until i increase it its stop , helppppppp

    They look to be IBT2s, so before we get into other possibilities can I please confirm are you using Mode 2 in the SMC3 code?

    The PWMmin and PWMrev values are quite high. Have you tried to set them all to zero and then only increase PWMmax, as it is described in the SMC3 tutorial?

    your pot looks super noisy... have you tested the movement of the motor with the pot separate?
    kind of like what this guys is doing...

    when i test the motor and check force via putting the cable direct to psu not to the ibt board the motor push perfect but via the ibt2 board no force, this what i tried:

    change wires,
    change psu,
    change pot,
    change arduino and ibt,
    check in another pc.

    help please

    is there any powerful board to replace it with ibt-2?

    Update: i tried to double ibt-2 for motor and the motor worked above 200 PWMrmax , put when i try to force the lever by my hand the ibt-2 cut the power from the motor so the issue not solved! help

    Interesting I have the same problem. It is not a deal breaker because I have leveled the seat so not so much force is needed but if I force the force to the seat i can also trigger shuts down of the motor. After I reset the arduino (i have made a reset button) it powers it up again.
    Does this happens to both motors? Could it be that it is only one of the IBT-2 weaker?
    This was the post i have made:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...nd-windows-utilities.4957/page-96#post-208566

    and this is the build:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simlab-gt2-to-2dof-conversion.13948/

    I did not try other PWM drivers.

    My suggestion would be:
    - try revesing the polarity of the motors and also pots
    - try other ibt-2 (batch difference)
    - try other PWM driver (avoid moto monster)

    P.s.:
    Similar problem

    Sounds like the TC values are way too low, did you capture the Max and Min values first?
