    Sorry, I had two tabs open and inadvertently posted twice. Found the issue FYI. I'll keep my posts to my thread.

    Hello.
    I uploade RCModelSimToolsMode.ino to Arduino Uno R3 and wired the servo as yours Picture
    RC Model Test_InterfaceConfig.cfg can't drag in Preset box. It show "RC Model Test_InterfaceConfig.cfg is not a valid Simtools preset file!

    Are you using SimTools 2, if so there is a change to the Interface Settings, so instead of Axis1 is is Axis1a and so on for each of the Axis.

    It would help if you post pictures of all of your settings.

    Try Decimal instead of Binary in the Interface Settings @Schopfer.

    That could be a couple of different configuration issues.

    First, it is important the LFS is run for a lap or two in normal game mode before patching. If you did not do that then unpatch LFS, run a lap or two the re-patch.

    You also need to create and Axis Allocation, I am presuming you have done so hence can you please post picture of all of your settings.

    To anybody who can't seem to get the Output test working, try closing every related application (including SimTools and Arduino IDE), unplugging the Arduino, making sure that the correct sketch is uploaded, then relaunch SimTools. Without launching Arduino IDE. Everything worked once I did that.

    i have configured the simtools 2 according to the settings given here ~R<Axis1a>~L<Axis2b> and Roll, Pitch to 60 but when i test the output on DOF then only one servo is making movement.

    I just grabbed a few servos from a local hobby shop for this project.
    Will this work with the demo version of Simtools?

    @Taimur khan there looks to be an unwanted space in your Interface Settings:

    Yes they will work with the demo version of SimTools using Live For Speed, as the LFS plugin is provided specifically for testing purposes.
