    Hello all,

    Been a while since i have posted as its been about 6 months since i have seriously worked on my 2DOF motion project. I have got a new big wind of motivation and i have a couple questions regarding travel limits:

    My system - arduino/MM/wiper motor 2DOF
    1. Can you limit axis travel via settings/software?
    2. If there is more than one option for question one, what is the best way to limit the travel?

    I have removed the stops in my POT's. I don't want to introduce clipping where the system shuts down and i don't want to reduce power. Initially I just want to keep my motion limited instead of going to full extent of POTs.

    Thanks in advance

    There is an Axis Limiting tab in the Axis Assignment section of Game Engine.

    Is that based on percentage of the existing travel?

    Hi, Yes I´m using the limit axis option too, My setting is about 50%, if I leave on 0% the simulator is very dangerous... I felt by side... ;)
