    I've been searching for the arduino firmware and wiring and I'm in shock of all these new information! I understand that there are two possible firmwares, Prilad and RacingMat, I'm thinking to talk in their posts to resolve some questions, and I've to look the wiring because maybe will be better change the firmware ports and don't touch the wiring.

    Some opinions/anwers?

    Have a look through the FAQs first, there are quite a few Arduino code options, the SMC3 code even has a graphical configuration program: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino-code-for-use-with-various-hardware-and-simtools.31/

    In most cases it is likely better to post any questions on your own thread, make links to relevant examples in other threads if you need to, but don't clutter existing threads unless it is directly relevant to that thread, rather than your project.

    thanks noorbeast, you're so quick! I've seen the SMC3, but I think that is a 3DOF firmware, it work equally in a 2Dof without traction loss? it seems one of the most used firmware and with more utilites.

    I've looking Prilad because it starts with Xsim sofware like me, now I have problems with it and I have to reinstall it and configure all games... Simtools seems more friendly and better. My problem is the lenguage and the patience to wait 30 days, gain coins to plugins, etc. because now my sim don't works. Patience.

    thanks for all

    Your sim will work with SimTools 2 as it includs the fully functional Live For Speed plugin, which is there specfically for testing. So use the next 30 days to get your sim sorted, both on the Arduino code side and the SimTools calibration side. Once it is running you can learn how to use SimTools and devlop your own motion profiles.

    SMC3 can control 3 motors, it does not care that one of those is traction loss, so give it a go, it is well documented, a lot of members use it and the graphical tool makes it easy to configure.

    Your English is fine, but if you want you can dual language post as long as an English translation is included. We have many bilingual members, so if something is messed up they can help clarify what you mean.
