    Hi again, I have been using my DIY simulator perfectly during months, but recently I changed my motherboard, and I had to format my PC. I reinstalled the smc3 and the simtools, with exactly the same parameters I've used before formating. The problem is: the motors work perfectly in one direction (positive numbers in the tunning center), but when I move the motors in the opposite direction, it's like a big dead zone, the motors don't move until they arrive at some point, and move suddenly and with a lot of speed to this point. The smc3 works fine, and simtools work fine only in one direction, I revised the parameters and I don't see anything bad or different as what I had before.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi yobuddy, can you explain a little bit more your suggestion? I don't understand what you said to me.
    The lenguage of the system can be the problem? My languaje for the system is Spanish(International).

    Yes, of course, I let it as you said to me. This problem begins with a change of motherborad, maybe must be something about the usb ports, or something like this, I did'nt make any changes. All are as before the change.
    The smc3 works fine, in manual or sine o motion, works fine in all directions, but de simtools, have any problem with my new motherboard, I buy a new usb wire, I change 3 times the usb port, nothing works.....
