    The schematics will be the same for each Arduino, they will just be on different ports and configured accordingly in SimTools Interface Settings, which is where you designate the assigned axis for each:

    Have you ever thought of adding traction loss to your simulator?

    thank you
    Simukit did it you can see it on their website.
    No particular constraints. No need for two cranks, one is enough.
    It is important to respect the positioning of the crank to ensure the symetry of the movements.

    Yes, I took a good look at your document, the crank angles and lengths to respect. I will try to make the model. Yes, I know simukit, which was A LOT inspired by it
    You also gave me advice for my 2DOF on the PCSHM site it seems to me

    With a rotatable joint at the bottom, it tends to wiggle too much.

    I've decided to install it at the old position of the U-joint base due to the limited movement from my U-joint. I think it cannot lower as much at the front.

    At this point, I'm running out of ideas. Maybe I should just install the new base without the rotation and rotational joint, but then I would lose the ability to simulate traction loss.

    The old base is there only to provide temporary stabilization.
