Arduino + Sabertooth

Hi guys,
I intend running sabertooth + kangaroo but as a first step, I ran Arduino + Sabertooth.

You can find the code here the Arduino code modified to suit to Sabertooth
http://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/arduino-code-2dof-for-sabertooth.103/

The present code uses the Sabertooth "Simplified Serial" protocol:
- it is OK with Sabertooth 2x25, 2x60 (don't use 2x12 which is too weak)
- Sabertooth 2x32 is compatible by legacy.

But 2x5RC, 2x12RC models don't seem to be compatible.

The code requires 2 libraries
- software serial is already in the Arduino IDE installation
- and Sabertooth library has to be downloaded here https://www.dimensionengineering.com/info/arduino
https://www.dimensionengineering.com/software/SabertoothArduinoLibraries.exe

//Sabertooth DIP switches 2, 4 and 5 OFF

// serial between Arduino and Simtools on RX pin: 115200 bauds
// serial between Arduino and Sabertooth on SWSerial pin8: 38400 bauds
Arduino pin8 <--> Sabertooth S1
Arduino GND <--> Sabertooth 0V
Arduino A0 <--> Pot1
Arduino A1 <--> Pot2

The wiring is extremely simple: only 3 wires between Arduino and Sabertooth

Indeed You got it...

Mate you are insane. As I promised to @RufusDufus I will send all my coins I have for the first guy here which will offer a code working with the sabertooths.

Only to be sure: this code works with any sabertooth?

ha ha! keep your coins @Pit

Hi,
I wrote a new code for this solution.
I share it here

I am using this code for my simulator and it's working fine.

Thanks a lot for your work. I want to use a arduino uno r3 and sabertooth for my simu 2dof with 24v dc. I already buy the arduino board but not the sabertooth. For you, shall I buy a sabertooth 2×12 or a 2x25? Thanks for your anser

Hi! sabertooth 2x25
2x12 is too weak to be used with smolka for example

Hi @Fabgen

I have a Sabertooth 2x60 for sale £100.00 + shipping

pm me if interested

regards Terry

You can buy the new 2x32 for the same price than 2x25!
The 2x32 is really better and it's delivered with 2 resistive for generative current. Very useful.

Thanks for your offer but I dont need so powerfull sabertooth and it cost too much than I want to pay.
