    Hi, sorry for my bad english but i'm new in this. Me and my friends were do a 2DOF simulator with Arduino UNO and 2 motor driver BTS7960 46A. We're doing the programmation and we tested the movement to the motors through the monitor serial for Arduino IDE, for example, writing in decimal 'L204R66' (that's a real value what SimTools send) i can do it the motor move to the left at pwm to 204 and repeat the process with different values maintenance the same rule. Repeat, all this in the monitor serial of the Arduino UNO.
    But this is different in the moment i wanna send the data through SimTools because the motor don't move, like the Port Serial of Arduino not receive the data or doesn't respond to these. Thanks and i wait it's understand.

    Sorry for not responding earlier and thank you because that's how we got it to work! but only with smc3, when performing an output test with SimTools we did not obtain any response. For the configuration of the Axis I copied it from a video that I used as a guide, I don't know if that can interfere in any way.
    Going into more detail, with the smc3 it worked perfectly and we even managed to configure the potentiometers correctly, but when trying with SimTools, the arduino does not respond to what I select in the output. Even by reading the port we know that SimTools is sending the data, so that error can be ruled out. Sorry for the poor quality of the images. upload_2023-10-11_15-19-16.jpeg upload_2023-10-11_15-19-24.jpeg upload_2023-10-11_15-19-33.jpeg
