    Hi,

    I did exactly as in image 1 to nicolasp in page 6, but I don't know how to recognize 2 Arduinos at the same time in simtools, thanks.

    I am not sure what version of SimTools you are using but the process is pretty much the same, please see page 33 of the manual:
    https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SimTools-v3.pdf

    Interface 1 is for the first two motors, with the correct port set, and designated
    Interface Output: <Axis1a><Axis2a>

    Use Interface 2 is for the the other two motors, again with the correct port set, and designated Interface Output: <Axis3a><Axis4a>

    The rest of the SMC3 settings for both interfaces are:

    Interface Type - Serial

    BitsPerSec - 500000

    Data Bits - 8

    Parity - None

    Stop Bit -1

    Output Bit Range - 10

    Output Type - Binary

    No only interface 1 is taken into account...

    It's possible to change the Arduino code to put another motor ? I think we can connect 4 motors on one Arduino Uno : 2,3 and 10 for the first ; 4,5 and 11 for the second ; 6,7 and 12 for the third ; 8,9 and 13 for the fourth.

    Please post pictures of all of your settings.

    I just realised you are not using SMC3, so the settings are as follows, but ignore Startup and Shutdown, just leave those blank, but update Interface to the new SimTools format: R<Axis1a>L<Axis2a>

    Yes i use smc3 before simtools to configure my motors, and for bitspersec 500000 or 115200 ?
