    Question 1:
    I have been looking for a solution to my problem for days now.
    In the SMC3Utils v1.01 software I do not get the motors on at the same time.
    For example in the [Sine] position (see photos)
    Because I want to adjust the seat horizontally and that seems handy to me.

    Question 2:

    I have a Sabertooth 32A, Arduino One (Not Chinese), 2x24V wheelchair motors, 40A / 24V power supply but I get a bit lost in the Simtools program.
    I have already read the manual so many times that I am giving it up a bit.
    What have I set wrong where manual control in Simtools does not work?

    Your interface settings are incorrect. Change baud to 500000, bits to 10, remove the e on end of output string, and put brackets around each axis. Example [A<Axis1a>].

    I immediately followed your advice and F Yes! I have movement.
