Is there a way ( and sorry if this comes off as a dumb question to even ask...) to have the EZB control the DC motors connected to my sabertooth as servos ? or a more controllable form other than sendserial ?
Parallax HB25 motor controllers do work just like 360 servos. They need an initialization script to work properly, but otherwise they will drive a single 25 amp motor just like a servo. See http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/Thread?threadId=6848 for details on initialization.

Once you get a successful tune you should have a very nice system that will run smooth for you, be very precise and be able to scene resistance and apply more motor power when needed to keep the speed up.
Commands are very simple. There has been a bunch of threads here on this forum showing examples by me, Lumpy and Toymaker of how to let EZB send the Simple Sireal Commands to the Roo. Here's a couple quick examples of how to send it through both the Uart port and a serial (Digital) port:

I got the Motor with encoder.. and all.
now I really need your ligth! how do I wire it to EZ-b ?
and How do I script it ? what command do I use ? If you have some examples would be great! i'm almost giving up this set up...
My intention is to use it to drive my R2 Dome in order to make it follow the camera, just like we do with the servos..
Help me masters! you're my only hope!

@castlephelps got a Sabertooth/Kangaroo combo working in R/C mode, so you use it just like a servo.
