We know that ARC platform supports the Sabertooth dual DC motor drive in all its modes .. communicating via its serial packetized iface (I think). Do you have support for the Cytron Smart Drive Duo-10 MDDS10? This is a similar module to the Sabertooth tho considerable less expensive. It supports a packetised iface and has independent and mixed modes.

Sorry .. my mistake .. I did not see DJs comment. Pls see data sheet. The serial comms protocols are at the end.
2) I advise using the UART ports to ensure accurate data transmission. The sabertooth config control will also mention the same advice when configuring the control.
UART0 - on dedicated (black) connector
UART1 - on D5:6
UART2 - on D18:19
but simple serial only communicates in one direction .. EZ-B to module via TXD line.
and ensure both devices have a common ground.
have fun!
