    I just picked up a 3DOF rig with the SC-MBOX V3. Looking through all the docks I have found it looks like it uses the same coms. Any chance you could share a few screenshots of the exact settings you have to communicate from sim tools to the MBox. It would be much appreciated. I have wireshark installed to view packets and trial of simtools 3.

    Hi, I desperately need help with my driving sim. I purchased it used on FB marketplace, and I cant seem to get any motion. I get ready on the SC-mbox v3 but the black buttons (Mode Set up down) do no not seem to change anything, I can activate the 4 MDboxes when I play with the function numbers all 4 units work. but no matter how I try to set this up with Sim tools I can not get it to do anything.
    The set up is as follows- there is network cable from the SC-mbox to the PC but it looks like only a small white cam wire to a distribution box (GREEN) with r12 connectors to the MDboxes.

    The sc-mbox read out shows ready with 1 steady read light underneath the readout. the MDboxes display shows ready with a solid red light and blinking green light.

    Please see the earlier comments in this thread, which include the possibility of different motors, and in particular the advice of @Thanos:
