Arduino code : 2 DOF for Sabertooth using Simplified Serial (Working) 1.23

This code allows you to use your Arduino and your Sabertooth (not RC models !!).

The DIP switches on the Sabertooth must be like that (2, 4 and 5 OFF) :


Here is how you need to wire (ok it's in french but you can easily understand it ) :

There is a mistake : Pot1 must be on A0 and Pot2 on A1



Your COM port must be configured like that (default settings) :


Config in GameEngine (choose the right Com Port) :


Here is my config file

In the code, this is what you maybe need to edit :
int DeadZone = 5; --> this is the Deadzone of the pot, 5 is recommended to reduce some vibrations
int ReadAnalog = 6; --> I read 6 times the pots value and make an average to prevent noise values. 6-8 is the value I recommend.

int FeedbackPin1 = A0; select the input pin for the potentiometer 1
int FeedbackPin2 = A1; select the input pin for the potentiometer 2

int FeedbackMax1 (and 2) = 962; Maximum position of pot 1 to scale, do not use 1023 because it cannot control outside the pot range
int FeedbackMin1 (and 2) = 62; Minimum position of pot 1 to scale, do not use 0 because it cannot control outside the pot range

You can change the PID variables too...

EDIT : you need to install these libraries (clic here)
