    I thought your were using different hardware?
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-with-arduino-sketch.17963/page-2#post-243250

    But if your running the sketch above with a Adafruit Motor Shield V2, then you would want to add these two commands for speed. (click the pencil to add the commands)
    Map 0 100 0 255 (you can change the 100 value to your desired top speed)
    Pad 3 0

    And this will make speed output always have 3 char's for output - 000 thru 255.
    And then make sure to send S<Sp1> as you were, and you should be good to go.
    Take care!

    Any suggestions how to reduce the speed of the fan's when the rollercoaster moves slowly. When the rollercoaster starts moving the output voltage is 11.58 volf (the powersupply and fan's are 12 volt)

    during the ride the fan's slow down and speed up. It looks like the values are reversed. The slower the car is moving the fan's spin faster
