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.

Should be easy to modify the sabertooth plugin to work with that. Do you have a datasheet with the communication protocol?
Unresolved .. I was sent a link describing where to source the Cytron smart drive duo-10 but my question is: does the ARC platform manage this motor controller pls?
Of course ARC can support anything if you know the protocol. Should be easy to modify the sabertooth plugin to work with that. Do you have a datasheet with the communication protocol?

Sorry .. my mistake .. I did not see DJs comment. Pls see data sheet. The serial comms protocols are at the end.
DJ .. is this something that I would do .. would I access the Sabertooth plugin > copy it and rename the copy > then access the protocol and change to suit the Cytron board?? or this something that would have to be done by your team?
I am offering to help, personally. I merely need a datasheet or some document or webpage that displays the protocol commands to send.

Hello DJ .. is this document enough?
