    [QUOTE = "noorbeast, post: 196970, membre: 10786"] Vous devez d'abord installer du code sur l'Arduino pour contrôler le matériel, je suggère d'utiliser le code SMC3 modifié de [USER = 8825] @BlazinH [/ USER] pour Sabertooth: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...ket-serial-pid-motor-driver-for-arduino.9277/ [/ QUOTE]

    Better use an arduino uno, it saves you trouble and for a project like this it is not worth the risk, I made them with ibt2 and arduino uno boards and it works luxuriously with the SMC3 v1.01
