    As a Mechanical Engineer I give me hints changing a light bulb, It's my first time using an arduino and I don't know WTF is a hexadecimal jajjajajaja

    so far I have instaled the SMC3 and load it to the arduino.... I have wiper motors and MM's but I didn't find the diagram to conect the 2od MM so... I'm lost.... end the insolated.... maby I did it wrong...

    If someone can help me showing me their projects, how they did it... it will be grand

    There is allot you can do wrong here, from the wiring to the configuration, so you will need to give us more information than that if you want help - pictures/screen shots of configuration wiring etc - as I could see your last wiring was incorrect. I can confirm the setup in that thread does work:).

    please post detailed photos of the ard/mm especialy wiring and soldering. also post photos of the smc3 utility program running with the setting showing.

    you do not need to change the code to run it. i know VERY little about ard code. smc3 runs for me right out of the box(as configured without changes).

    I suggest mounting the boards with nylon hardware as this eliminates the possibility of unwanted contact. as i said give us close up photos of everything.

    btw nice looking frame i like the bent tubing really nice touch. what does the cockpit weigh. will be cool to see it running.

    Think your pots not connected on foto storing.jpg Nice sim. Looks like frond of a real race car :). I first tested smcutil white only pots on arduino. See if pot line move white corresponding pot if you turn it! If smcutil sees no pot, are pot disconnected. In smcutil your motor wil sho disabeld.

    It was a later attempt to diagram 2dof.

    thanks, it's a nice design, I built my house with a pipe bender

    The big part of your frame is the moving part?

    the config utility is set to com 7
    the arduino is on com 5
    you must change it to com 5 in smc3utils.config
    it should be in the same file as the smc3utils.exe
