    Hello! I wanted to comment that I have a 4-seater simulator already assembled, I had 4 computers and it has 3 motors, 2 in front and 1 in the back + 1 vibration, and I wanted to know if I could revive it with this application.

I wanted to comment that I have a 4-seater simulator already assembled, I had 4 computers and it has 3 motors, 2 in front and 1 in the back + 1 vibration, and I wanted to know if I could revive it with this application I also want to point out that each motor has its brand variator (bonfiglioli vectron active) that is connected by RS232 to a PC, also carrying sensors on each motor connected by network cable, it passes to a small board it will talk to RS232 and from there to the PC. I would greatly appreciate help

    @Thanos may be able to advise if it is possible to use his controller, as the first step is finding a way to communicate with the hardware.

    Its driver may be a chip that looks in the old hard disk called FTDI, it is connected by USB and it does not recognize it. It gives me 483 error when connecting it to the PC with Windows 10.

    Or I do not know if the controller goes through the com with the card that I am going to send you the photo that connects the 8 RS232 that this card does if my PC recognizes it and it recognizes some input when I connect it to its cables

    Not this one, it uses VFD inverters. I don't make the AMC1280USB anymore that could work with it.

    So what do you want to tell me that it is no longer possible to move it again with a PC if I don't get AMC128USB?

    No, no. Look around for other video compatible solutions perhaps using arduino.
