    Hello,
    I had no time to work with my simulator for about a year. But yesterday I finally upgraded the software from 1.3 to 2.3.1. My problem would be that the movement is not right. Output testing for the small change engine will turn a lot. Turns to the wrong position. After several hours of trying, I couldn't solve the problem. I have run version 1.3 without any problems before. Attach some photos of the settings. What might be the problem? Thanks

    Yaw should be the same same percent I believe.
    Without some pics of the sim, its hard to know what the settings relate to buddy.
    Take care,

    Thanks for the reply. This axis configuration worked perfectly under version 1.3. Today I got it all set again. The result is the same. I'm creating and uploading a video of the problem.

    If its a Stewart platform, then yaw is not correct i believe.
    If I were you I would assign one output at a time.
    (Like get Heave working then move on.)
    Only way to find your problem I believe.
    Take care,

    Sorry for the amateur video. I hope it looks like a problem. If I set the axis to a single motor and want to test it, the 6 motor will move. I think the interface settings may be the fault. I looked over several times. I have set everything as described in SMC3. Still not good. If I try to change the values during testing, the engines jump. Everything is fine in the SMC3 Utils. In addition, in 1.3, these settings worked fine.

    When you start the output testing, the motors will try to center, this is normal.
    Are you suppose to be sending 3 outputs per Arduino?
    SMC3 setup shows this...
    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]
    Chat soon,

    Thank you for your answers. The problem has been resolved. I had to set the language settings for windows to (US) English. Everything works perfect.
