    Hi, I'm completely new to motion simulators. I've build a sfx100 and attached it to my p1x rig. I've used all suggested parts but instead of arduino, I bought AMC aasd15. I followed @Thanos manual v2.3 for software configuration with simtools.
    My setup:
    4 linear actuators (sfx100)
    AMC aasd15 with firmware 2.10 fix7
    New Pc: Asus x570 board, R9 3900x, 2080ti
    Simtools pro license

    The problem:
    When I use buttons on amc controller I get the desired motions.
    I only configured pitch, roll, and heave.
    When I go to output testing in simtools and turn it on, on the first try after PC launch the rig goes slowly up for about 100mm that slowly down to previous position. I stays turned on but moving sliders doesn't do anything. When I turn output testing off and turn it on again, I doesn't move at all like for the first time.
    In game ( LFS - patched) there is also no movement also game manager shows its connected.
    Also sometimes game engine just shuts itself off.
    I also noticed that one USB port with keyboard attached stopped working. It came back after pc reebot. I've never had such problem previously with USB on this computer. I'm not using any usb HUBs, everything is connected directly to motherboard.

    Please guide me to solve the problem.
    Thanks

    Hi, thank You for reply.
    I tried 3 usb cables, repatched LFS as You described, something had to change because it started working :D I have movements in LFS and it already feels great! However in output testing it now goes up after turning on, stays there but I can only make it to move in axis output testing, not in DOF output testing.
    Here are all my screnshots:

    I am not sure I understand what you are trying to explain. Output Testing only works with the Default axis assignment profile, if that is what you mean.
