    Hello,
    I attempts to make a motion video and I testing that with k8055 and sabertooth 2x12a
    (more about saberboot 2x12a:
    http://www.dimensionengineering.com/dat ... th2x12.doc )

    X-sim profiler 2.0 and wiper motor work OK for calibrating or testing with joystick

    all look simple from this manual ....
    http://www.x-simulator.de/beta/video_plugin.html

    Video work OK on both screen and I use a joystick control and simulator check box
    after creating a .fs3 file I double clicking a .fs3 file from explorer , but motor not make any move

    I was thing that is problem with my PC and Windows XP, so I was tray with my
    laptop and windows 7 enterprise, but the problem is the same

    HW configuration and some X-sim screens you can see down, that is my test PC WinXP SP3

    Also, Sirnoname suppose that is problem with some bugs in X-sim, PID controller and K8055

    Maybe someone have some ideas what is false in configuraton or procedure?

    Thanks in advance

    Igor

    I can see in the screen shoot a bad configuration with the pot value, Minimum and maximun have the same value , it's not correct.
    for information:
    you use a single speed? like Adbgg tutorial?

    Sirnoname , can you give a complete information about PID and dynamic speed with K8055?
    what is the problem?
    what is the result when using the PID with dynamic speed?

    yes, I use Adbbg tutorial and use single speed, like you see on screen
    also, I have notice that value is small and the same in both direction in grafh

    but, .fs3 file sending some information, like you see in output setup
    and motor should have any move (maybe just small move),also when I press START in Profilel with joystick
    motor work OK in both direction

    maybe I miss something in tutorial...

    i think ,you need to put correct value for the pot
    a correct minimum ( 0 ) and correct maximum.

    the slider 21 value is 1000, the same like your Gforce value, you have big movement.

    Maybe the joystick value is to small.

    thank you sirnoname,

    Once again I was start from beginning.
    Carefully step by step, and with yours instruction (and Adbgg tutorial)
    now video work OK with two motors very nice

    only problem what I was have, is when video start and run motos, 550W PC power supply
    was turned off (lots of Apmers in peak), then I was connect a battery 12V 7Ah (form UPS) connect parallel with power supply
    and now two motors work continuous durin video playing (about 4 min.)

    Now I go forward, making a two seat chair , iron construction .... :cheers:

    Best regards
    Igor
