    Hi Gigi
    Can you please send me the 4dof ino code you used and the image of the schematic of the arduino, h bridges , pots and gearmotors

    use two interfaces. one for each pair of motors and you will have totally 4 motors

    i rewrite what i wrote to you in pm:



    "Every arduino board connected to the sabertooth board commands 2 motors.
    So you for each sabertooth you need one arduino card
    sabertooth 1 card that commands the motors 1 and 2 :
    Pin 8 of arduino card TX data to connect to S1 Sabertooth 1
    Pin A0 of Arduino card - input of feedback positioning from motor 1
    Pin A1 of Arduino card - input of feedback positioning from motor 2
    sabertooth 2 card that commands the motors 3 and 4
    Pin 10 of arduino card - TX data to connect to S1 Sabertooth 2
    Pin A2 of arduino card - input of feedback positioning from motor 3
    Pin A3 of arduino card - input of feedback positioning from motor 4
    In schema10.jpg you can see sabertooth 1 card connected to arduino 1 card
    To connect sabertooth 2 card to arduino card you must use Pin 10 instead Pin 8,
    Pin A2 and Pin A3 instead Pin A0 and Pin A1
    That's all"

    If you only see schematic and not read what i wrote you will never understand how to do

    Merry Christmas and belated congratulations to you brother, very nice project, indeed you are motivating me to build one of my own 4dof just like you here in Pakistan

    [QUOTE = "Ch_Yasir_Mustafa, post: 168987, membro: 29095"] Buon Natale e congratulazioni in ritardo a te fratello, bel progetto, in effetti mi stai motivando a costruire uno dei miei 4dof proprio come te qui in Pakistan [/ QUOTE]
    Hi all, the 4dof of gigi fux is motivating many people, even I'm planning a 4dof with so many solutions taken from this sim, in January I order engines, power supplies and linear guides. electronics and iron for the structure already taken,
    Regards
    Micma
