Hi guys,
I am currently trying to use a sabertooth 2x32 but am unable to get it to work and think it might be related the the DIP switches?
just for background: -I have updated to the latest ARC -the signal and ground of D0 are connected to s1 and ground of the sabertooth -i have tried using both the sabertooth Movement Panel and custom Movement Panel using serial commands and have read how the interval 0-255 affects the motor coding. -I have tried many combinations of DIP switches but I either get the motors spinning out of control (without command from the movement panel) or no movement at all
I am sure that it is something simple and figured someone has come across this in the past
Thank you for any input possible!

For the 2 x 12 (and most likely other sabertooths) the dip switches on the sabertooth control the baud rate... 1,3 and 6 up (on) sets the sabertooth for simplfied serial at 38400 baud... 1,3,5 and 6 on is simplified serial at 9600baud...
@merne no worries at all we are all here to help one another
I do not have a video of my astromech moving around in the daylight yet (hopefully tomorrow) but my build thread is on here with tons of pictures!

also you can see it randomly in a video from a club event a couple months ago
