    I have followed both of these links. But the issue still remains

    Yes it will overwrite with plugin default Max/Min values, No will leave the current Max/Min file.

    While flying Xplane, one of my motor becomes unresponsive after some time. When I go back to smc3 utility there it shows that motor is on and I can move that motor manually using smc3. Why is that so it becomes unresponsive after some time during the game

    Being unresponsive tends to be because of settings, overload, to heat or PSU shutdown, USB interupts, or going outside of the stipulated range.

    I just want to check you are not running SimTools and SMC3 at the same time, as that would create a port conflict.

    Im not running smc3 and simtools at the same time. I run the rig with no load but still facing the same issue that motors becomes unresponsive after some time

    Pot stops recording values in smc3. It loses tracking the motor analog value. When I close the smc3 and run it again the issue got resolved. Why is it so. That the reason one of my motors stop responding after sometime during the game

    Hi, I've been following the progress of your 2DOF simulator analysis and construction because I'm interested in building one (I already have the motors). I have a question, did you manage to solve the problem of the motor disconnecting after a while?
