hi Richard hey I'm trying to get my Sabertooth running I tried the Sabertooth serial Movement Panel but it defaults to board 0 port 23 I need to use board 2 do you mind sending me the script on my email?

thanks
@Merne... Go into my custom movement panel's settings and change the following...
from...
SendSerial(D23,38400,127) #127
SendSerial(D23,38400,128) #128
To this
SendSerial(2.D23,38400,127) #127 #2. added to indicate board 2
SendSerial(2.D23,38400,128) #128 #2. added to indicate board 2
You are adding 2. in front of the port to indicated you want to send this command to board 2
do this for all the other movement commands in the custom Movement Panel and for all commands sent to board 2 in general...
@Aerius No, set the pot at 90 with you're inmoov standing straight up... You only need about 70 for the min value and 110 for max value for the range of side to side motion... So all you have to do is run 2 wires from the servo with the control board still in it to the servo with only the motor and gears left in it... In other words just run 2 wires from one motor to the other motor... + to + and - to - parallel...
@Aerius ... Not sure about your diagram... You only need two wires to the second servo... One servo has the control board still inside, the second one has the pot and the electronics removed... solder extra wires from that first servo motor contacts and then solder those wires to the second servo motor (which has the complete control board removed)... Motor to motor contacts...Do not reverse the polarity either... When you test them they should both spin in the same direction... The left and right pistons are different so they will take care of the fact they are spinning in the same direction... they will rotate properly as needed... Remember the second servo is just a motor and gears left in it... no electronics so you just solder the 2 wires to the + and - motor contacts...

@ Richard I am presently hacking 2 servos for the Inmoov low stomach.
If I understand clearly, both servos will share one external potentiometer and one control connection on EZB.
My question is: Since both servos circuitry are sharing one pot, is there a need to increase the pot. value?
Tanks for your help.

no you should not have to increase the pots value just make sure to or reverse polarity on one of the motors
Tanks Richard and Merne,
Is this correct? I have remove the wiring diagram pic. which was not relate to the subject

@ Richard, You just made my day. I was just going to throw in garbage a HS-805BB with a defective controler in it. Tanks for the clarifications.
