SyRen/Sabertooth Packet Serial Library for Arduino
Control your SyRen or Sabertooth with reliable Packet Serial.
|
For this library, make sure DIP switches 1 and 2 are OFF for Packet Serial. The examples mostly use address 128, for which DIP switches 4, 5, and 6 should be ON.
For full information about configuring your DIP switches, consult the appropriate DIP Switch Wizard: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/SabertoothDIPWizard/start.htm for Sabertooth, or http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/SyrenDIPWizard/start.htm for SyRen.
Connect 0V to Arduino GND, S1 to Arduino TX, and if you want to power the Arduino with your Sabertooth, 5V to Arduino 5V.
Once you have the library installed, try any of the included examples. This is the best way to get a feel for things.
To find the examples, first start up the Arduino software (if you installed with it running, restart it). Click File, Examples, Sabertooth, and then take your pick.
