    Hello ! I start to build my motion simulator, I did all I'll found in this page, but now I'm stuck. When I go to simtools , output testing and them I press
    ''Turn on'' the motor move but when I tried to move the knobs after select axis output I moved and nothing happens ...Arduino board receive data and motor move when I turn on axis testing. ( moves ands stop)
    I'm using this code : Arduino Code for 4 DOF and 1 pins Hbridge boards.
    The only thing maybe could be wrong is I'm not connecting yet all motors, just one, and I connected 3 potenciometers to Arduino, one is installed in the motor , and the other two I moved manually for test, I pretend to used 2 motors and 1 extra motor for wind...

    Please can you tell me if this scheme is right for me to use 2 arduino uno and 4 ibt2 to make a 4dof flight simulator using your 2dof code?

    Or would the correct schematic be this?

    Hi Mat
    I found the error thank you.
    The directory that I save contains special characters, so I can not compile it.

    Sorry, but I would advise you to stick to a known recipe ! Trying to innovate while being new to arduino will be hard and costly to my opinion ;-)

    can i use 4 ibt2 whit this code?
    if so does anyone have a connection diagram?

    want to try to make a 4 dof, when my first project is finished :)

    I now use the smc3 code for my first project. but I want to control 4 motors. for my next project. I was wondering if that is possible with 4 ibt2?

    Use 2 Arduinos and SMC3.

    See my previous comment where I consider the easiest way to drive 4 motors is 2 Arduinos, each driving 2 motors using SMC3, as that way you have all the benefit of the SMC3 utility for configuration: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-dirpin-hbridge-board.4614/page-6#post-176494

    Hello everyone, so I wonder if it is possible to make 4dof according to one of the schemes?
