    Hello, I am trying to make a simulator with scrap metal, Arduino uno and moto shield, using the smc3 program I was able to make the used windshield wiper motors work, but I cannot make the simtools move it, please help me to do it

    LFS must be run before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    Make sure you grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Then see the motion profile tuning tips in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Just a further observation, MMs require heat sinks and fans to remain adequately cooled under load.

    you are very kind and attentive, thank you once again, I continue studying and trying to improve my simulator, I already put a fan to keep the motoshield at a low temperature, I still can't get heatsinks for it

    the new tensors work very well, they greatly improve the movement and sensations of the simulator
