    Two weeks have passed since I finished building my sim, after 6 months of work I am very satisfied ... but I can't make it works as it should. It moves irregularly and it doesn't follow the game: (. I've followed all the guides. If I load a profile founded here in the forum, after have planned the maximum and minimum value of the potentiometer, when I start playing it breaks my potentiometers. Motors are connected to spin in the same direction. If I load a profile made by others, how can I know the correct position of the motors? Please help me because I'm going crazy!! :sos: :sos: :sos: :sos:

    did you run calibration in x-sim? what motor controllers are you using?

    hi order to help people in the community have to say that cards you use to move your simulator, also know if you use motors or actuators, I am very Nueno, but if you tell me your simulator characteristics I can get you some help from people who know more I, greetings!

    Yes, the fellas are right.
    What boards?
    What motors?
    What feedback pots?

    you're right, I'm stupid, I did not say anything.

    -use 2 motors wiper
    - Motor controller: sabertooth 2x12
    - Velleman K8055
    - 2 potentiometers 10 K
    - ATX 650 W
    - 12V power supply is 30A

    The project is basically the same as this :
    sim-racing-project-2dof-k8055-sabertooth-2x12-stage-2-t3898.html

    I did not do the calibration, I tried it once but I broke the potentiometers

    Never stupid, just forgetful at filling in the blanks.

    I don't have experience with K8055, will leave it to someone else.

    the JMP have been removed, the electrical circuit of the potentiometers is correct.
    if I measure with a tester, I: 100% = 5v, 50 = 2.5%, 0% = 0 V
    the proplema I think the calibration .. I have explained a few things I try to make them tomorrow .. is too much that I want to post my project

    you never answered did you clear and recalibrate within X-sim?

    I don't understand, I have to use google translate ...
    however, to calibrate mean click where it says calibration and make him do? if so, no, I 've ever made.
    clear what?
    I'm sorry for the english :(
