    It could be an issue with the Arduino itself, or control boards, given the hardware you are using. If you swap hardware around side to side does the issue move or remain the same?

    Is there any method to check whether the driver is burnt or not

    You can try reversing the drivers to see if the problem always shows up with the same

    Is there any way to measure how much my platform has roll and pitch in comparison to the roll and pitch of Xplane. In other words I want to measure how much amount of roll and pitch my platform has gone in real time against the 15 or 20 degree roll or pitch of aircraft in Xplane.

    Can I compare the motion angles of platform and the game. Is there any way to do that

    I am not certain what you have in mind but hope the SimTools remote profile may assist: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/simtools-v2-remote-profiler.172/
