    but didn't work well because to much slip between the wheels .

    This is the new solution

    This was the old rig

    Hi to everybody I have a problem.
    My sim use for the movements 1 arduino uno and sabertooh 2x 32 (surge and TL ) and 2 JRK 12v12 to move the seat on universal joint.
    Everything was fine and funny :grin.

    Yeserday, for my fault I have fried a JRK.
    Because I had another Arduino uno and another Sabertooth 2x32 I installed them instead the 2 JRK
    No problems moving both motors with SMC3 Utils V1.01 but when I test the movments via SIMTOOLS OUTPUT TESTING one of the motors answer with a big delay (this do not happen with SMC Utils motion)
    Have someone some suggestion?

    SIMTOOLS is version 2.4
    ARDUINO has SMC3 packet serial beta 8 soft start installed
    SIMTOOLS is:

    bit per second 500000
    data bit 8
    parity None
    stop bit
    Intrface output 10ms (axis assignment is ok)

    I checked Sabertooth baud rate and is 115200

    Of course when run the game (PC cars 2) the movements are completly ...awfull

    I also changed language in windows 10 with english USA also if probably didn't need.

    Something else to check ?

    Thanks a lot

    A rapid upgrade.
    The problem seems to be solved changing the value of Fpid in Smc3 from 1 to 2. I will test better next days
    Thanks
