1.) Configure the length and width of your actuator distances, as shown in simhub
2.) Navigate to Controllers and choose the COM port the control unit is connected to via USB, in most cases it is shown as “CH340”
Simhub is asking if all axis are assigned correctly. It is crucial that axis are assigned correctly.
1.) press on Axis assignment
