// This example treats the power outputs P1 and P2 as controllable outputs,
// useful for fans, lights, single-direction motors, etc.
//
// The power outputs are not, by default, controllable outputs.
// You will need to use the DEScribe software, available at
//   http://www.dimensionengineering.com/describe
// To configure them, in DEScribe,
//   (1) Connect and Download Settings,
//   (2) On the Power Outputs tab, set Mode to 'Controllable Output', and then
//   (3) Upload Settings to Device
// This sample will then work.

USBSabertoothSerial C; // Use the Arduino TX pin. It connects to S1.
                       // See the SoftwareSerial example in 3.Advanced for how to use other pins.

USBSabertooth ST(C, 128); // The USB Sabertooth is on address 128 (unless you've changed it with DEScribe).
                          // We'll name its object ST.
                          //
                          // If you've set up your Sabertooth on a different address, of course change
                          // that here. For how to configure the Sabertooth, see the DIP Switch Wizard at
                          //   http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/USBSabertoothDIPWizard/start.htm
