Yes this a stange one. So, I have the 2x15 Sabertooth controller in use with my Hemi robot (see other thread). Im using the custom movement panel, and thanks to help from everyone I learned how to create serial commands needed to operate the Sabertooth. I have it nicely working with voice commands.
What I am having an issue with is that sometimes, while robot is idle,not moving,, out of the blue the robot will luinge forward on its own. This happens even when I have disabled the verbal commands, while i have to press the stop button on the Movement Panel to make the bot stop.
Has anyone else ever had an issue like this? I waas thinking maybe a rogue serial command is being fed from the EZB to the controller, like some kind of glitch?

Custom Movement Panel
by Synthiam
Custom Movement Panel maps directional commands to scripts, adjusts per-wheel speed (0-255), and integrates with joysticks for unsupported motors
So I have been playing around with the Sabertooth Movement Panel some, I like how you can adjust motor speed with the sliders. One thing I have noticed is that whatever slider position I adjust to , doesn't seem to get saved. Each time I open the program, I see the sliders are back to the zero starting position. Would be nice to be able to set and forget. And each time I want to make an adjustment, it saves that too.
