    Everything is ground isolated so it would have to be psu to power issue but i doubt it. My main issue now is oscillation and overshoots, It extremely rare for it to just stop now.

    Ive been tweaking and testing for about 10 hours now and my main issue is oscillation and overshoot (it dont just stop) .

    If i want smooth settings and low KD to avoid oscillations i need to use these settings. The problem here is that the motors never get up to the peak on the sine and lack power.

    On the other side if i want it to follow the curve i need to use these settings, its does not feel smooth going down the curve. It will still oscillate on large changes when low load is on the flaps (im even considering adding springs) and i need to reduce the main level to about 97 and below. (its clipped on the low side)

    How important for the over/undershoot and oscillation issues is it to keep on the curve. Any tips?

    Hello! I, too, am working on a g-seat with wiper motors, and am encountering overshooting and oscillation. Have you figured out a solution?

    We discovered that it may be due to Ardunio overload and if you ground port 8 it will go into 115 baud rate so you set that in simtools. PS the 115 wont vork with the SMC app.

    For me that didnt actually work but i thought it did at first. Then once i got my rig and moved it to the other side for the room i never had the issue again, that's until yesterday. Ive moved my rig back and forth a few times Maybe the usb cable got a kink as i havent had any issue for a long time and both ardunios are genuine. Im going to try setting up my laptop over network and see what happens. Try the Baud option though.
