    Well all configured and tested, it works in a very satisfactory way.

    But I'm having a problem with loss of centralization during the game. It happens more to the left, but it happened in the right one time, but the strangest thing is that when I close the game and open SMCutils it comes back to the right center. I thought the lever could be slipping on the motor shaft, but if it was that it would not go back to the center when I called SMCutils, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

    Are you overpowering the motor's when heavy on brakes ?

    When you say "loss of centralization" do you mean that it's as if the center point is slipping? Or does one motor cut power completely until you go back into SMCutils?
    If it's cutting out completely, I have a workaround solution for you that you can try from here: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-ricmotech-rs1-clone.10377/page-6#post-143652
    but if it's still moving but just off-center that's something I haven't seen before.

    Yesterday it came to hang up once, but it always decentralizes. But as only turned off once did not give relevance will these two problems are connected?

    Today I'm going to run for a longer time to get a better conclusion.

    Before I had no problem, after I left him delighted for a while and I came back now I am with these problems, before using version 2.1 now I am using 2.2 but I think this has nothing to do but it is a possibility.

    I made some modifications to the SMCTools configuration and solved my problem, before I was using PWMmin = 0 and PWMmax 200, now I'm using 180 and 220 respectively.

    I used a lot this weekend, it is working 100%, but I still think it can improve on the motor support, to decrease the vibration and to decrease the deadzone of the potentiometers that I am currently using in 3.

    Joao Neto, you finally got more powerful motors? Do you have any images to see the progress?

    Really a nice project for small places. Although the wheel do not move, it is a good choice, In addition to being small, it is simple to build and cheap. I'm have plan to build a 2dof and you gave me good ideas. Congratulations and thank you.
