    Please help, I don't know what else to do, I read over and over again but it is difficult for me to understand what I am failing in, the engines cannot be turned ON in SMC3 utility, i read the forum, I check the wiring over and over again, I do the steps that everyone recommends but I can't find the solution,

    Cant turn ON motors on SMC3 U.

    The green line is the potentiometer line, it need to be within the orange and red line, else you could not turn it ON. upload_2021-3-14_19-32-53.png

    Have a look to see if the pot is properly centered, because if not and it exceeds the limits for safety reasons the motor will not run.

    I don‘t understand. In your first post, you wrote that you cannot turn the motors on in SMC3 Utility, and your first screenshot confirmed that they were off.

    But in your new screenshots both motors are ON. So for me it seems that you have solved the problem.
