    hello everyone, I want to ask how to determine the min and max degree of the potentiometer or motor on simtools ?? I have searched for some sources can't find it, I want to try manual shifting in simtools or with live game for speed. oh yes, for the pot, I have changed it so that it can rotate 360degree according to the mentor's instructions here a few days ago.
    Note : image simtools from internet gor example.

    The setting of the motor/lever range is done on the control board side, so what hardware and code are you using?

    The Interface Settings image is correct for a 3DOF, but SMC3 has to be properly configured and working as expected before you can move on to setting up SimTools.

    The first and second post of the SMC3 thread cover its basic setup and explain the functioning of the settings: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    I am not aware of a SMC3 walk through video, perhaps some other member can advise if they have created one.

    While writtten with JRKs in mind here is a gentle introduction to setting PID, and it has links to more advanced explanation if you want to dive down the rabbit hole: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/a-laymans-analogy-guide-to-pids-pid-tuning.219/
