    Hi, I am trying for the past week to get my arduino and saberbooth to work together with smc3 and then with simtools.

    i'm so not able to understand how and what to upload in arduino and what to upload to sabertooth.

    i'm trying to use this setup

    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...bertooth-using-simplified-serial-working.136/

    which seems to be straight forward for the hook up, which all of the wiring is done and all is at the right place. but not sure what the steps are to install this. what i tried, i get a error message that smc3 can't communicate with the arduino. the port setting is right I check it.

    So not sure what i'm doing wrong and what are the simple steps to load the right files to what hardware sabertooth or arduino so I can get everything working toward and star some testing.
