    if I can add some light to the theme, the led of the arduino ... I think it is the indicator, when the tester starts the axis turns on but remains fixed in place of smc3 passes that constantly flash during communication.

    You really should start your own thread and post pictures of all of your settings, as it is likely either faulty hardware or incorrect configuration.

    maybe .. the idea was to have the thread with the finished project. the configuration I think is fine, the engines in smc3utils work perfectly the ip is configured correctly. (127.0.0.1) the pc that I use for the tests is a portable, the configuration of axes as in the images uploaded in this thread, and I read the 75 pages of the thread of the tutorial. The motors are new windshield wipers, properly isolated .......... the only one that gives me hope is that when I open the axes tester the LED of the arduino encinde when it finishes the account of 3.

    There is not enough information provided to properly aid troubleshooting.

    You really should start your own thread and post pictures of all of your settings, state what code you are running on the Arduino plus what other other hardware is being used.

    Hi James, were you able to figure out what was the problem? I am having the same issue as you.

    Hi Marcos,

    I wiped and started my project multiple times and there was probably a number of small subtle mistakes but I believe my biggest contributing issue was not setting everything correctly in the SMC Utility software. Once you have 150% proven behaviour in the SMC Utility software, then move on to SimTools.

    Hope this helps in some way
