How to manually connect DOF motion platforms with a PC
If a PC cannot automatically connect to your DOF Reality platform, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect all devices from your computer except the control unit.
2. Disable Bluetooth on your computer.
3. Close SimRacingStudio (SRS) and SMC3Utils.
4. Open Device Manager → Go to Ports (COM & LPT).
There should be only one device listed (the control unit) or 2 if you have an H6/P6.
To confirm it’s the correct device, unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in. The device should disappear and reappear.
If multiple devices are listed, repeat the steps until only one remains.
5. Wait for more than 5 minutes and check if the device remains in the list without disappearing.
If it disconnects, check the USB cable and port for possible issues. Try a different USB cable. Try different USB ports.
It might be Windows power saving mode disabling the port. Here's how to disable it: https://www.minitool.com/news/how-to-disable-usb-selective-suspend-settings.html
