    Good day! made the settings according to your video tutorial. when I go to the Output Testbng tab and move the axes to +2, the motors turn sharply a quarter of a turn and that's it! No matter how much I pull the slider, there is no further movement. when I pull the slider to -, the motors do not move at all, they just twitch. Please tell me how to fix this

    Hello good morning.
    I would like to help you but the Spanish translation is not good and I don't understand the question, I don't really know what you mean.

    I am Russian and the translator also does not allow me to say it correctly. I'll make a video and you'll understand

    Hello! I have a problem and I can't solve it, in smc3Utilis the motor works fine, and in SimTools only in + and then with a sharp movement, In - it doesn't move at all. Tell me where I'm doing wrong

    You really should do SMC3 settings specifically for your hardware, you will get better results that way.

    That aside please do post pictures of all of your settings, when you have the time, as something is odd.

    But in SMC3, the motors work correctly, but in SimTools they don't work. Do SimTools photo settings? Thank you for your patience

    Please post pictures of all SimTools settings, as something is likely not configured properly.

    It looks like SMC3 is set to com port 5, but SimTools is set to com port 1, they should match, so change SimTools Com to 5:

    Yes, I changed it when I rebuilt it. I have COM 5 there when COM1 motors don't work at all. I took the wrong screenshot, excuse me

    when I make settings in SMC3, are they saved to the arduino sketch? After all, to run simTools, you need to disable SMC3 because they cannot both join to the same port

    Yes the purpose of the SMC3 utility is to configure the settings, which are saved to the Arduino.

    Yes, a dedicated thread was created to assist you to resolve your configuration issues, as doing to was off topic for the build thread of another member.

    Good day! Maybe SimTools doesn't work correctly with Windows11?
