    I am trying to get a racing simulator back up and running for a colleague of mine. I am wondering about the various firmware files that can be loaded onto a Thanos AMC controller. The board I have is a AMC-AASD15A Servo PlugNPlay Version 1.3 9/3/2019. It is currently flashed with USB1280 v3.5 but I cannot seem to get it working. The computer can talk to the Thanos Board - When I try testing in SimTool I get the "Motor Online Receiving Data" screen but the motors are not moving. I tested all the motors using the jog function (FN002) on the AASD15 drives and all the motors work however using the sliders in SimTool does not seem to move the motors at all.

    I see there are two streams of firmware on the Thanos site: AMC-AASD15 and then USB1280. Not sure what the difference is between these streams.
