    Hello there
    I've already tried changing the locale to English, disabled antivirus and firmware and it still doesn't work.
    With the SMCEUtiles it is perfect but in simtools NO, I have reinstalled it and I cannot do TEST either.
    What else can I review?

    Hello there

    I still can't start SIMTOOLS, in the TESTING module, for the motors.
    I put a photo of the Firewall configuration, in case something is wrong.

    Please copy and paste this into your Interface Settings: [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]

    The image below, which you posted previously, looks to have additional spaces in it:

    In the end I managed to get it to work with 2 engines, the error was when copying ([A <Axis1a>] [B <Axis2a>] [C <Axis3a>]) the computer spaced it for me and when I put the characters together, it worked.

    Thanks

    Another problem is when activating the third motor, in the SMC3 it only lets me activate in the FPWM 4 Khz or 31Khz, and the motor does not work, the others go well over 20.

    I have already changed the motor controller H and it does the same, what can I check?

    Thanks

    Hello there,
    Motor 3, only turns me in one direction, activates the potentiometer, but when you order it to change the direction of rotation, it does not, if you manually move the potentiometer to the center, it turns the motor again, but always in the same direction.
    It is as if the programming did not have the order to download.

    I attach a photo.

    We continue with the construction process, now the part of the seat, steering wheel and pedals.
    The problem can come when installing it on the platform and seeing if the motors hold up and are strong enough.
    I'll tell you about it ;)

    Hello there,

    Where can I get information on how to balance the platform with the weight of the person, so that the forces of the motors are the most reliable and exert the least force.

    Thanks :)

    Hello
    A problem that arises for me, while testing the simulator, one of the motors, changes the central position on the solo and I have to adjust it manually.
    What could it be, it only happens to me in one of them?

    Thanks

    I am not sure what you mean about what circumstances a motor is not centering, could you perhaps add a video to show what happens.

    Hello;
    I have several problems and I don't know how to solve them.
    * One of them is that when I get on the platform, due to the weight, the motors move and become out of adjustment.
    * How can I adjust the position limits of the motor, so that it rotates from one position to another specific one.
    * I have redesigned the position of the motors to improve the application of force, but they do not go well, I have seen the program (MotionVisualizer_0.0.3), but it could not be executed on the computer, it says that some DLL is missing. Any idea where you can see well how to apply the forces?

    Thank you.

    My guess would be the mass and design of the rig are too much for wiper motors, which are not very powerful.

    It would be helpful to have better pictures of the rig, with motors attached, plus its rough dimensions.

    Some design suggestions that may help, shorten the lever CTC to 35-40mm then extend the top mount out so the rod meets at 90 degrees when the rig is level, which gives the best utilisation of torque. Even so wiper motors are not the best choice for a compact design, on my compact rig I run 200W motors with 60:1.
