Hi Richard, I found an old thread your posted on...
"One is ground and the other is to s1 on the sabertooth... Use any of the ezbs digital ports... ground goes to black pin on the ezb and s1 goes to the white pin on the ezb. Nothing gets connected to the red pin..." (Richard r)
So 0Vis ground goes on D0 ground(black) and S1 goes to D0 Signal (white) do I need any other connections from the sabertoothto EZB?
Using the Simplified Serial, 3800 Buad A on the dip switch, right?
Is this the same for the 2x25, also does it matter which MA1, MA2 and MB1, MB2 connect to the motor(s) is MA1 neg and MA2 positive?
@ merne, you are right on the connections from the EZB to the Sabertooth, only two wires, ground and signal to OV and S1. 12V power to B- and B +, don't mix them up. Use the Simplified Serial dips witch settings. MA and MB are the motor leads and they can be changed positive/negative, so if your motor is turning in the wrong direction change the leads there or on your motor. Hope that helps you
Thanks Bob... @Merne, make sure the dips on the sabertooth are 1,3 and 6 up or on and the rest down or off... This sets the sabertooth for simplified serial at 38400 baud... As Bob mentioned, motors may spin in weird directions... Don't worry about it as we can either tweak the serial commands and/or reverse the motor connections as needed...
@merne, Richard R. taught me everything I know about Sabertooths but he didn't teach me everything he knows about Sabertooths! So keep posting questions and we'll all keep learning. I chimed in because he must have been spending a quiet evening with Andrew. Oh and maybe Sue, too.

Thank you
I forgot 1 more question, I can use a 2vDC connected on B- and B+ right?
Thank you again for all your help! Merne
That last post should have been 12vdc nor 2vdc eek

@bhouston, Thank you! Now I am going to connect it up and try it out!

@Bob... Ha, ha... more like the fact I went to bed at 7:30pm (EST)....
