    Hello
    That's a pity you blown up your setup...
    It sounds like the pot was wired in the wrong way... Try to figure out how it works: it's tricky
    If target doesn't change, if the pot goes one way, the motor should turn reverse in order to keep the target...

    There's nothing to change to the code, sorry. It works fine for dozens of sim
    :)

    I do not know if understood my question I and calibrated potentiometer and the motor to rotate in the same steering, if the potentiometer goes right engine goes right and likewise the contrary, I send orders from my arduino with RFF,LFF and commands received very well, even from the simtool. what and proven with the game and receives the data very well, the problem is when along the potentiometer and motor. and order a new potencimetros of recommending yourself to see if the problem is solved.

    I think I have understood ;-) that's a rooky mistake
    reverse 0V and 5V of your potentiometer and try without mechanical coupling: hold your pot by hand "like" it would be coupled.
    Please post a photo...

    - Send an order
    - See how the motor turns (cloxkwise or anticlockwise)
    - Turn by hand in the same way... the motor should slow, stop and turn backward

    - if not (motors keeps turning full speed), reverse the 0V and 5V of pot

    Hi friend, sorry for writing so late but I did not get my potentiometers arrived now that they arrived and I echo what they told me and it worked. Revive all the orders and stop in time works well, but now I have another problem, what happens now is that there are moments that I do not receive order has to move one first and then the other if they move both at the same time they stop and I do not know why . Help me, thank you for everything

    so the code is good eventually! ;)

    What is your power supply capacity? I suspect it's too low...

    can you please post pictures of your sim, it would be far easier to help you

    If the code is ok, I have a 750w neutron power supply.

    Thank you for your advice. I have shortened the lever to 5cm but it doesn't change much and the motor is still hot after I use it for 20 -30 minutes. Actually when the simulator is not tilted its weight is in center but when someone is on the simulator it is usually lean forward. Do you have any other solution?

    You need to balance the rig with yourself in it plus all peripherals: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-of-gravity-to-balance-a-motion-simulator.55/

    @Everh it looks good

    I do believe your PSU is too weak
    Try with a second PSU!

    Hi - those heatsinks look a little small - cooked one of my motor controllers - ended putting fan heatsinks to combat this.

    Thanks for your compliment! I'm glad you find it useful :)

    Indeed, you need to to change Axis1 and Axis2 to Axis1a and Axis2a with the new version

    Have a good demo! :popcorn

    Hi, @RacingMat, I'm building a 2DOF, I'm still in the wiring process between Arduino-MM & the pots. I just cannot understand very well the wiring. And how the pots are connected. I'm not mounting the MM on top of the Arduino, I would like you to help me to check if the wiring diagram I created is correct? I designed it following the pictures you posted only, but I still dont know if 100% correct, merci!!

    here is my components to wire.
