    That would do it in an upgrade from 1.3 to SimTools 2. Of course if that is the case all plugins are also affected, as SimTools 2 plugins are not backward compatible.

    Thanks so much for devoting your time, expertise and energy in assisting @Bob the builder, helping each other out is what makes this an awesome community :thumbs

    it looks as if its @RacingMat code the emailed instuctions @Bob the builder was sent match racingmats instructions we have now added the "A" to make it work with simtools 2.0 and have movement in output testing but only small and side to side @noorbeast

    i have not used this code so not a clue what to try next :(ive used smc3 and jrk only

    I am pretty sure @RacingMat will help out when he gets a moment, or someone else who uses the code.

    As I understand it in Interface Settings the Output- Bit Range should be 8.

    And the setup instructions are here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/arduino-code-for-4dof-and-1-dirpin-hbridge-board.4614/

    I can't help you step by step as I'm really busy (2 jobs currently) and my sim is stored dissassembled
    and even if it's slow, you need to read and re-read manual and explanations to increase your personnal knowledge first hand :)
    keep going even if it's sometimes frustrating
