Hello, hope someone could help me... 

The story.. i use to have a notebook with 3 motor shields and an arduino uno working without problems.

I build a PC, working for about a year without problems. I update my rig and now want to use my shaking motors... first, it didn't recognize the Arduino, had to download manually a driver, then Arduino, my hardware, configure, Arduino Uno and the com that was detected... 

After the compilation ok.. but it does not appear or show any motor... no motors detected.. they are all set up and installed like before.. but for some reason they are not detected...

I'm missing something???

 

Hope someone could help!

Hi !

If the Arduino shows as connected inside simhub but showing no motors I would simply think that you forgot to set it at the sketch setup state ?

Otherwise could you send the logs files while Arduino is connected ? it should give some additional clues.(they are stored inside the log folder inside simhub install directory

Hello!

Is there a chance the UNO or the Motor Shields have gone to another world? Can't figure any other thing... The main difference between my notebook and this PC is that the notebook detect the Arduino Uno without a problem, with this I had to download a driver manually (after 2 hours of trying to understand what happened - It was only detected as USB 2.0-Serial-)

They are 3 Motor Shield V2 connected, one interesting fact is if I press the reset button of any of those 3, all the Arduino system reset (It is no more detected by Sim Hub and then it came back, this makes me think that it is all connected)

 

Don't know how to attach the file, so here goes the log...I really don't understand much, but I think most of the first part is just initialization.. (I think I manage to upload the Log and a capture of what I see)

 

Thanks mate!!!

I confirm that the Arduino is still alive as it's detected, but you probably forgot to enable the motor shield during the sketch setup 😉 currently there is no motor shield enabled 😉 https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Arduino--Setup

Also when you are using a single Arduino it's better than keep simhub running in single Arduino mode 😉

I have done that about 25 times... hahaha

-Multiple Arduinos

-Open arduino setup tool

-Board UNO

-COM5

-Check Box

-Upload

-OK

And what I see is the image I send you on the edit of the post...

 

I'm missing something??

YES... I DID MISS SOMETHING!!!!!!!

 

Please send me to the top one of the Hall of Shame... I didn't found the Motor Shield (that I had to add 3) at the left of the screen... so I guess I they were going to be automatically detected... so stupid!!

 

Shame on me... public apologies...
