    For SimTools 2 the Interface - Output should be like this: R<Axis1a>~L<Axis2a>~

    Is Com3 the correct port?

    It is a bit hard to give advice until you provide a bit more detail about what you have and have not done, including hardware and wiring used.

    I have followed same steps like here @eaorobbie https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-model-for-motion-simulation.4600/ exactly same wiring with two motors
    but have no idea about sim tools settings correct or wrong. if it possible please help me with sim tools setting.

    i was straggling get this correct from last two days, but still im in same stage
    i already tried with virtual simulator using this https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simulating-a-2dof-simulator.278/ it is working fine with network interface.

    but serial interface with my Arduino no movement of the motor
    Please help me to get done this, Im really excitedted to see the the this motor movement,
    Please attached all details information with this for reference, Please check this and help with

    Stop Bits should be 1 in the Interface Settings.

    Can you please post a picture of Device Manager ports so we can confirm om3 is correct.

    Can you also confirm if the board and com port are correctly set in the Arduino IDE.

    Ok, obviously I was wrong with binary, but just one remark about the interface output, maybe it should be

    ~R<Axis1a>~L<Axis2a>~

    instead of

    R<Axis1a>~L<Axis2a>~

    I tried with stop bits as 1, Still no any changes.
    i used this both Arduino codes https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-model-for-motion-simulation.4600/
    still no changes

    Please do not cross post with the same questions, it gets very confusing for others to follow, keep your questions on your own thread rather than clutter others: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-model-for-motion-simulation.4600/page-8#post-169899

    You need to configure a default profile in Axis Assignments. Start with 20% allocations in Axis 1 and Axis 2 rows for sway, surge, pitch, roll and heave, this is how SimTools expects axis to be configured, using the Dir box being checked orange or not to define which way each axis moves: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    i'm really sorry about confusion,
    i was tried that almost all the comments and i did not get any changes on my out put settings.

    but i noticed most of the post are for sim tools 1.3, i just downgrade sim tools to 1.3 and start like this

    way. https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-model-for-motion-simulation.4600/
    and
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/rc-model-code-for-arduino-uno-2dof-expandable.89/

    finally i go my correct movement from motors with sim tools 1.3
    also i tested with LFS game as well, its working fine.

    but i have still doubt with why it did not work with sim tools 2. if i use same setup with sim tools 2, will it work ?

    Please advice me if need to any other this before starting this project and im planing to buy licence for sim tools 2 as well for my project.

    im planing to build my setup like bellow,
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    after struggling lot, i learn a sim tools bit,

    thanks every one... @noorbeast @Pit @yobuddy @eaorobbie

    Cheers ........
