    i read so much without to disturb and started my project, i think wich well so far.
    sorry my english.
    i will send descriptions and photos.
    things you must learn.
    a bit the arduino
    welding for wires and also steel tubes.
    cut metals. ( with safety)
    search before ask ( rsrrss)
    network, software,race games and hardware. ahhh sorry, writing english too... (my problem)
    this last i dont no well.
    reading without stop, archives posted by racingmatt, until understand.
    then i started building.
    the first MOTOMONSTER ARRIVED DEAD. ( i dont know, at moment)
    AND...NOW ? ARDUINO TROUBLES ? WIRING ? MONSTER CHINA ? ARDUINO CODE ? WELDINGS
    NO ! ONLY MONSTERMOTO china...
    I BOUGHT ANOTHER, and this resolved.
    I bought the seat.
    the steel tubes.
    welding machine.
    cutting metals machine .
    and hands on work.
    Then, is not DIY ?
    learn
    learn
    all days learning.

    Hi all

    A day too much activity.



    The dashboard finally shows green light to unlock



    But since nothing is perfect
    the arduino suddenly stopped ...
    it seems to me that the potentiometer of more than a 360 degree turn.
    tomorrow I will put 2 new
    they were totally damaged
    Can anyone help with this?
    the test without connecting the potentiometers in the motor was ok ...



    thanks any suggestions.
    regards to all

    Can someone help me.
    I no longer receive a VIRTUAL AXIS signal
    It only happens, it seems to me only the initial movement. watch the video please
    When I start LFS it makes two moves and stops.



    txs a lot

    There will not be Virtual Axis movement until you start something like a hot lap, once you do you should have Virtual Axis data when you click the Virtual Axis tab and then Turned On.

    [QUOTE = "noorbeast, post: 157828, member: 10786"] Não haverá movimento do Axis Virtual até você começar algo como uma volta quente, uma vez que você deve ter dados do Virtual Axis quando yuo9u clicar na aba Virtual Axis e depois em Turned Em. [/ QUOTE]

    ok, thanks i'll try

    now when starting LFS shake it few movements and stopped
    already installed patch
    patch uninstalled
    uninstalled LFS
    installed LFS.
    I d'ont no what do...
    Serial commandas work it.

    Please post pictures of all of your settings.

    Have you created a Default profile and does your sim move correctly in Output Testing, this is what SimTools expects: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    If not then does the sim move as expected with the Arduino code?

    If Output Testing works as expected did you run a race in LFS before patching it, as that generates some needed files. If not unpatch LFS speed, run a race and repatch.

    [QUOTE = "noorbeast, postagem: 157952, membro: 10786"] Por favor, poste fotos de todas as suas configurações.

    Você criou um perfil Padrão e o seu sim se move corretamente no Teste de Saída, isso é o que o SimTools espera: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements. 230 /

    Se não, então o sim se move como esperado com o código do Arduino?

    Se o Teste de Saída funcionar como esperado, você executou uma corrida no LFS antes de aplicá-lo, já que isso gera alguns arquivos necessários. Se não remover a velocidade do LFS, corra e corra. [/ QUOTE]

    yes i do...
    3 voltas pós-instalar, um patch novamente

    Hi Noorbeast
    explanation:
    When starting lfs the "GAME MANAGER" does not change to GAME RUNNING".
    if I uninstall lfs and install from and do the "PATCH" it works until reboot.
    but even when this works the seat only moves to the starting position.
    grateful for your help

    In the Interface Settings instead of axis defined like this <Axis1> it now has designate grouping a or b in SimTools 2 for each axis assignment, like this L<Axis1a>R<Axis2a>

    The DIR box being checked orange or not determines which way and axis moves, they should be set in the Default Profile so Output Testing moves like this: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    And follow these steps to create and refine a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Ah !!

    Nothing moves at the start of the test when moving the sliders.
    starting position only.
