    Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm just starting to build a 2DOF simulator with Arduino. Could someone please tell me where I should start? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi everyone, I've started this project. I'm about to test it with the SMC3, but nothing moves when I set it to motion or manual. Can anyone help me? Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice.
