    Hello, I just go to simtools, and I must say it's great !!
    My two cylinders SCN5 moves correctly, they perfectly mimic the moves!
    But .... my 3rd axis (SCN6) works oddly. he moves without reason.
    On a corner, while I'm not slipping (loss of traction) it operates is very strange
    Do you have any information to this problem?

    thank you for your help

    Bonjour, je viens de passer à simtools, et je dois dire que c'est super !!
    Mes deux vérins SCN5 bouge correctement, ils reproduisent parfaitement les mouvements !
    Mais ...., mon 3eme axe (SCN6) fonctionne bizarement. il bouge sans raison.
    En plein virage, alors que je ne suis pas en glisse ( perte de traction ) il s'actionne, c'est très étrange.
    Avez vous des informations à ce problème ?

    merci pour votre aide

    yes, IMO it is a settings related issue. Please upload all screenshots of your SimTools settings.
    Do you use the third axis for traction loss?

    SCN6 use a different interface than SCN5. The current publicly downloadable Simtools version (1.3) only supports SCN5 (in Simtools the interface just says SCN though). I believe SCN6 support will be added in the next Simtools release. I seem to recall seeing some using SCN6 but I think they are beta testing. Maybe if you ask you can get a beta copy to test with too!

    Hello and thank you for your help!

    Is it still worth downloaded screenshots simtools my settings?
    If so, I puts you tonight;)

    To request a beta tester, whether the problem just good from SCN6, to whom he must ask ?

    thank you in advance

    Bonjour et merci de votre aide !

    Est il encore utile de telechargé les captures d'écran de mes paramètres simtools ?
    Si oui, je vous les met ce soir ;)

    Pour demander une version beta testeur, savoir si le problème viens bien du SCN6, il faut demander à qui ?

    merci d'avance
