Hello everyone I am using a project from 737 Diysim. The project uses nema 17 and TB6600. There is a modification where a person uses a DC motor and an L298N driver. I also decided to redo it for DC and L298N, but I can't set up this modification properly. Maybe someone has already configured the DC motor, or maybe someone can help with configuring Mobiflight?
#PMDG 737 Trim Wheel

If this is the design that uses an intermediate Nano board as closed loop controller for the DC motors, I think @supple raft might be able to help.

I am currently using this connection scheme.
This is the scheme used by the author of the modification, but he uses it in XP 12 without using Mobiflight.

Consider taking your question to the 737DIY discord server.
I would guess the Arduino runs a custom sketch that controls the DC motor driver. I don't see how this will interface to a PC running Xplane.
I think it being a custom sketch, it would not be able to talk to MF Connector.

Sorry I have not done the conversion but the trim wheels are very slow with standard, as is the stab trim indicator. Have a friend looking to see if the nano code can be manipulated to help. Will post if finds an improvement

I don't use XP, the author of the modification uses it, and according to him, he uses third-party software that won't work in MSFS 2024. I'm using MSFS 2024 and PMDG, so I'd like to know if I can set it up using Mobiflight. If necessary, I can include an arduino nano in the wiring diagram. But then I need help writing a sketch for nano.

Sorry I misunderstood what you wanted to do. I am not familiar with the design you are trying to use. As I had mentioned, there is a design available in 737DIY for a 737 motorized throttle quadrant using Mobiflight.
However, Mobiflight has no specific functions for closed loop control schemes. Open loop can be used directly with stepper motors.
The approach I saw used a Nano board as closed loop controller with custom firmware. The Nano was connected to another Arduino running Mobiflight firmware
I think you should ask in the 737diy discord server.
