Hi @AliAbubaker and welcome to our forum.

Can you share a link of that package you found for a 4 wheeled robot?

I see that Dimension Engineering (manufacturer of Sabretooth), offers some Arduino libraries, but nothing for Jetson Nano and ROS. Maybe to contact them to confirm this?

Not sure if something can be found here maybe:

Thank you.

How are your Jetson Nano and Arduino connected?

Is it maybe possible to connect each motor to a separate Arduino and Sabertooth, and then do some modifications in libraries?

the problem i was facing is i was using wrong configuration on sabertooth driver
