    Hi guys!
    I do not know where a I can post this question, so I'm writting here. You can move the post if necessary to best local.

    I'm not understanding how works Axis1a, Axis2a, DOF1, DOF2. To a 2dof project, using 2 servos, how I should configurate them?
    I have to use only Axis1a and Axis2a or Axis1a on DOF1 and DOF2?

    Sorry for the noob question.
    Thanks

    The SimTools manual is here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    But basically the Interface Settings is where you setup communication with Axis1a, Axis2a.

    Axis Assignments is where you allocate the range of movement your axis are capable of to various axis/forces, and even on a 2DOF you can allocate surge, sway, heave, roll and pitch.

    The total Axis assignment should be around 100%, it can be a little over but don't go too far, as that will induce clipping: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/axis-assignment-percentage-totals.120/

    From there you refine the motion profile, doing one axis/force at a time: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/
