Title: Sabertooth Connection help
Post by: moltrex84 on September 10, 2010, 08:12:30 AM

Hello,

I have a sabertooh and I'm following the tank control example to be tested in a axon2 ...

Which configuration should I use for this.

1-   Which Port in the microcontroller ???  UART 0 ??? What baud rate if need it ??
2-   Which configuration in the Motor drive ??? Simple serilazed ???
3-   Which Port in the Sabertooth S1 and S2 or only S1 ???

Help will be gladly accepted … I will post a cool video of what I’m doing if I get this solve …

Thanks,

If you g to he dimension engineering website http://www.dimensionengineering.com/ (http://www.dimensionengineering.com/) there are wizards to help you set up the dip-switches for the different configurations And the documentation (which is a pdf file) will tell you how to hook up the sabertooth.

As far as which UART, I don't have an Axon2, but I'm sure it is labelled on the board.

Well if you are using WebbotLib and the Project Designer tool then it shows you what to connect to where, DIP switches etc.
