    hi
    i already test my motors and sim tools setting with RC motors and it work perfectly..
    this is really good and i can play around settings of sim tools.
    this is really good chance learn about sim tools before actual build.

    thanks ....

    A few lines down from the top of the sketch look for #define MODE1 and change 1 to 2.

    Interface settings are incomplete. Use 10 for output bit range and 10ms for output rate.

    You can't run smc utilities and Simtools at the same time.
