Question Setting Up Simtools w/ SCM3

Hi all,

I am having trouble setting up Simtools for my prototype which currently is 1 dof and works using SCM3 =, Arduino and a Motormonster. I have been following RufusDufus's SCM3 guide and looked at other threads as I don't fully understand how I am meant to be setting up Simtools.
Right now my current settings for my interface is as follows:

Interface Type - Serial
ComPort - COM3
BitsPerSec - 500000
Data Bits - 8
Parity - None
Stop Bits - 1
Output Bit Range - 10
Output Type - Binary

Startup/Shutdown Output - nil
Interface Output - [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>] (10ms)

For Axis assignments since my prototype is 1 DOF I tried just have Axis1a set to pitch but that didn't work, then I tried setting roll, heave etc, all of which still didn't work. I'm unsure of how I should go about axis assignments, I checked the quick start guide as well but that didn't really help me out regarding this.

When I output test should it move the blue line in SCM3 or should the motor just move? I get neither and I am unsure why.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi Noorbeast thanks for your reply,

Everything currently works in SCM3 correctly, the green feedback line follows the blue line when using motion or manual (To an extent since for my prototype I'm using a small 12v motor with super little torque). Before when I was testing though I was using Simtools2 with SCM3 open. I'll try again today with SCM3 closed and see if that helps then post how it went.

Alright, I just tested it and it worked!

I suppose the next step is to just load in a game plugin then see how it goes there then buy the bigger motors and transition the electronics over to them.

Thanks Noorbeast for your help, honestly a life saver.
