    I currently have one of my Arduinos running my new seatbelt setup. I am using two Cytron MD13S motor drivers and one of them crapped out on me. So I have a spare Cytron Shield MDD10 that sits right on top of an Arduino and should run the two seatbelt motors just fine. My questions are:
    Do I use Mode One or Mode Two when setting up the SMC3 sketch.
    I can't seem to locate the correct wiring and jumper settings to get this project back into action.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Mode One is typically used for setups where the motor driver allows for direct PWM and direction control without needing to manage the reverse direction with PWM signals. It often uses separate pins for PWM and direction signals (SimulatorMotorController, 2017).

    Mode Two is designed for cases where PWM must be inverted when changing the motor direction, requiring a more complex configuration where one switch acts as a direction control pin, and the PWM signal is fed to this pin (SimulatorMotorController, 2017). This mode is beneficial if your project requires more intricate control over each motor depending on its direction.
