Arduino Open Source X-PID firmware incl.360°option

As written: If you block with USO the comport then your plugin cannot detect a device on the same comport!
Especially if you have a check at the lock option

still nothing. i unchecked the lock ports on startup

ok. i found what was the problem. The x-sim extractor was using that comport.

first how can i make the x-sim extractor to use another comport and in the interface setup what position do i use 1 or 2?
thank sirnoname for all your help

[spartan300]

i guess that position 1 & 2 is for R & L motors?

[sirnoname]

yes, left and right. Rename them with one of the suggested names and other profiles will find them.
The extractor OBD2 comport is changable as you like in the OBD settings menu.
Every connected arduino has its own comport number. You can change the comport number in the windows device manager.

ok i got it.I will start testing it
Thank you

Hi guys,

currenlly i have the same set up as the pic at start of post with uno3 and the same h bridges, I have the firmware and x-sim on also i can detect through my comm4 1 and 2 axis which i have named leftt and right.

I am stuck as i cannot get any movement out of motors when hitting the set output as instructions on thread suggest
I am sure i am forgetting or havent done something correctly but cannot see what, shud i have maths calculations in already or something in the input section ?

be gentle i am new and have fired myself in at deep end but am learning more each day i have pics if that help etc also motor have been tested and wrk

regards

Here are the pics of my progress on this setup but have hit a brick wall as no motors moving atm though,
The grey wires are going to the pots and will be shortened but wiring to them shud be as in diagram at start of thread

don't worry heatshrink at the ready to tidy up when i get this going as said i have likely overlooked something or am missing a piece of the puzzle motors work on own when tested and xsim is recognising with xpid etc just nothing when i sent output % etc

[sirnoname]

Did you use the wiring of the sample picture or the one inside the INO file? (last one is correct)

[Garyroot]

Hello Sirnoname. Thanks for the reply i used your picture at start as guide all the wiring in pics is same just different angles due to low light shud i look in the INO file then and use it ?

i was worried about straying from pic didnt want to break anything

thanks

Gary
