    For 2 months trying to get my system to work. Finally succeeded to get some result.
    arduino works with smc utils. But now how to connect Game Engine to Arduino.
    Tried lots of different configs, but no activity on arduino (all on com 10)also tried
    different coms. Game manager and Game Engine are ok.
    Deinstalled and restalled all, no luck.
    Can please anyone get me on this not so simple road

    Thank you for fast reply Noorbeast. Tried every possible baud rate, no result. Also shouldnt baud rates on com 10 and EM be the same.
    500000 not available on com10

    I had some trouble too, i did have to put : [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>] in the "interface - Output". It didn't work at first because I had Something wrong with brackets, I also turned my system time to English zone, as there was a bug in a previous version of the program, I don't know if it was solved or not. Hope this helps.
