    I can't help you with this because I can't find motors yet :(
    I have tested the AMC using same calibration slider, but only one segment of numbers on LCD is changing, depending what axis I choose.
    Maybe you have some profile that mixes both axis.
    Try to make a new profile with only one axis and try to see what will happen.

    Did you connect two working pots, wired correctly, to the AMC?
    Either if just one pot is connected, or if one of them does not work properly, the AMC uses one pot signal for both axis. This is a safety precaution in the firmware, in case on pot gets broken.
    However, I dont know which settings you did made besides the ones on the picture. But I'd check the pots at first.

    Thats correct... the mixing of the axis is done internally in the AMC!!! You just set the proper DIP switch to set it to SFGT mode. You will still have to sent two independent axis X - Y and they will be displayed independently on the two first numbers on the LCD. :lol: Read the manual!

    Either you have strong hands or pots are connected wrong and melt down due to high current :)
    I'm kidding, do you move the pots by hand, or you have attached them to motor shaft?

    it works if I move it by hand!

    I put on 500

    I set my bow in the wiper motor in neutral position.

    then I connect to the PC and go to Calibrate.

    Calibri if I start without moving up and down the number 128

    when I start and then Calibrate the motors rotate in the same few times round.

    So, if I understood you correctly, when you turn the pots by hand from 0 to 270 deg's , you get 0-1023 for both pots. Did you calibrate the pot travel with small multi turn trimmer pot?
    Does your HB stops the motors when you reach the middle position of pots?
    If things above are OK, and you can change the 128/128 LCD segment with calibration slider, while your pots are connected to motor shaft, you should stop the motor whatever position you like.
    I haven't reached this stage with my setup, so I can't tell what could be wrong, but hopefully this weekend I'l mount my pots and do the testing.

    Hi Interview
    The connection of the pot is fine, if you turn the pot the values vary from 0 to 1023, only stops the engine 500,
    Do not attach the pot to the engine yet, you must do something before ...
    Check the image should be adjusted...
    [​IMG]
    Before connecting the motor shaft with the shaft of the pot, check that:
    The motor should run in the opposite direction Pot
    Example: if you turn the pot on the right the motor should turn to the left ...
    A good measure not to break the pot is to add the Switch limiter as suggested for Tronicgr.........
    Hope I understood your questions and clear answer

    Regards

    if I only go up a little to the left or right makes the engine noise. when I go to the left or right turn and turn the motor.

    (Potentiometers rotate with when they have reached their limit!) Because I do not attach much, otherwise they break.



    AND WHEN THE POTI NOT WHIT MOTOR I CAN CALIBRATE left and right ... its all right,, and when the poti whit motor.. i calibrate and he tunr and turn ... :(

    It just says that to regulate the pot should loosen the screw and re-adjust ...

    It is OK

    That value is using pot? I use 100k ... Maybe that's the problem ...
    I have not much experience with the AMC and the x-sim ...

    Why don't you make your pots a bit looser, so they can rotate with the shaft in case it runs away? Simple logic can save you $$$. :)

    Does your motors start turning full speed as soon as you move them? This is a run-away situation caused by a reversed motor/potentiometer.

    Or they rotate slowly as you move the slider, and don't stop at the endpoints? This is should not happen since the setpoint and feedback has a specific range (256 for setpoint, 1024 for feedback) and the motor output is 0 if they are equal.

    The better you explain your problem, the better we can help.
