    Anybody can explain me how to setup the maximum and minimum movement of the wiper motor? I`m testing with the SMC3 Windows Utilities.
    I want to reach to 180º but on SMC3 Windows Utilities only goes at 150º aprox.

    Please check your potentiometer range
    PS: also upload your SMC3 settings plus video of the motors in action

    You will hardly get the 180° if using geared "180°" hall sensors....

    Hi there, my current simtools 2.0 interface setting is as follows:

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]

    What should I change in the line, if i want to use the b axis assignments also (I need more than 6 DOF, 'coz I have 3 extra at the b axes)?

    Thanx for help,
    George, Hungary

    Open the SMC3 util. and lower the PWM value untill you maintain a balance between the smooth start/stop and the motors going fast enough "read the first post again" .

    Here is the Tuning Center outline information: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/tuning-centre-and-axis-settings.240/

    Here is the existing SimTools documentation: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    There is a slight change to the Interface Settings for SimTools 2: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/

    This is the convention for which way axist should move: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    And here are the steps to apply all that in making and refining motion profiles: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Thanx for answer.

    I mean I want to use both a and b axes at the same time. 'coz I need more than 6 DOF with
    the same interface.
    Is that possible? If it is, what my interface command-line should looks like?

    Cheers,
    George
