    What's that now?
    Please provide a English translation if you would.
    Maybe you need another Arduino setup?

    I'm not sure what you are having problems with?
    Yes, you could use up to 6 if needed.

    this picture of my simulator :
    1,2,3,4 = motor
    port com 4 =arduino 1
    port com 3= arduino 2
    MOTORS GREEN = PERFECT MOVE WITH SIMTOOLS 2
    MOTORS RED = Dont move whit SIMTOOLS 2

    With SIMTOOLS 1.3 everything worked perfectly.

    Nevertheless SIMTOOLS 2 re-knows 2 well cards(maps) arduino, but runs only the only one engines on 2?

    Are you using the SMC3 code or something else on the Arduinos and do all the motors respond properly on the hardware side.

    If so please post pictures of all of your SimTools settings.

    @STEPHANIE for SimTools 2 your Interface Settings should be like this: XL<Axis1a>CXR<Axis2a>C

    @Pit or @RaceRay can we please pull @STEPHANIE's configuration related posts out into their own thread.

    Incredible!!! THAT walks(works)!!! XL<Axis1a>CXR<Axis2a>C

    I thus filled(performed):
    Interface 1: XL<Axis1a>CXR<Axis2a>C
    Interface 2: XL<Axis2a>CXR<Axis2a>C
    Interface 3: XL<Axis3a>CXR<Axis2a>C
    Interface 4: XL<Axis4a>CXR<Axis2a>C

    You are the best !

    On the other hand I do not arrive has to change the sense(direction) of the engine 4 ( axis4a ) in axis assignements, I shot well "dir" but it does not walk(work)...
