    Attached the wiring diagram and the .ino code used.
    Is it normal, with this config, that the motor start to move when I power on the system?

    Thanks.

    At the end I solved it by increasing the DEADZONE value. Now it's setted to 10 and when I turn on the motor are stopped.

    The next step is the AssettoCorsa plugin creation.
    I'll update you.
    Bye :thumbs

    Hello.
    I am unable to run the engines with the SCM3.
    The potentiometers appear on the graph but the motors are not started.
    IMG_1066.JPG

    What is the correct pinout to configure the motors?
    It is?
    2DOF arduino and 1 motomonster.png

    Or is?
    SMC3Pinout.jpg

    I'm using this Arduino code.
    IMG_1067.JPG

    Please help, thanks.

    Olá.
    Não estou conseguindo fazer funcionar os motores com o SCM3.
    Os potenciômetros aparecem no gráfico mas os motores não são acionados.
    Qual a pinagem correta para configurar os motores?
    Esta?

    Ou esta?

    Estou usando este código Arduino.

    Por favor ajudem, obrigado.

    Set the green line right in the middle. And then play with the program but read the link above from Noorbeast first

    It takes time. you have to read a lot. Set the green line righ in the middle with the potentiometer. Then set all parameters low as per the instructions. Max limit and clip input set to 250. then click sine
    (Do not touch the potentiometer)
    If the switch next to the motor you have selected is ( OFF) then you have reached the limits.

    I hope this will help.

    Thanks Tom, I was successful, in fact I had used an Arduino pinout that was not correct. And after testing all the pinouts I found here, I found the correct one. Hugs and good luck! :)

    Hello. Following your guidelines and RufusDufus ttps://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/smc3-arduino-3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities , but I believe that there is still no success. The engines did not stop. I still don't understand how SMC3 works!
    Does the SMC3 define the working angles of the engines?
    IMG_1126.JPG
    If so, what happens is that you are not able to stop at 90 °, setting the maximum engine limit.
    When using the potentiometers, they stop, but still pass the 90 ° I need.
    And I changed all the parameters.
    Please help.
    Follow video.

    Thank you.

    ------

    Olá. Seguindo suas orientações e o RufusDufus, mas acredito que ainda não há sucesso. Os motores não pararam. Não entendi ainda como funciona o SMC3!
    O SMC3 define os ângulos de trabalho dos motores?
    Se sim, o que acontece é que não está conseguindo parar em 90 °, definindo o limite máximo de motores.
    Quando usar os potenciômetros, eles param, mas ainda assim passam os 90 ° que preciso.
    E mexi em todos os parâmetros.
    Por favor ajudem.
    Segue vídeo.
    Obrigado.

    The SMC3 configuration is explained here: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/#post-48121

    You need to have a pot connected to the motor, which gives position.

    Sorry but there is not enough detail and context to understand what you need help with, can you please be more specific.

    What motor drivers are you using?

    Please post pictures of all of your settings and hardware.

    Hi had these pics which I always use,you can figure it out from there,simple.

    This one below is to double the current capcity. Double moto monster connection.jpg

    This is to connect two motors to one motomonster below:

    MotoMonsterSetup.jpg
    This one below is todouble the current capacity of the two channels on the one board:
    MotoMonsterSetup_single-motor-driver_final.jpg
    And lastly this is the pin outs to use when you connect your motomonstor boards:
