Hello to you

This is my first experience asking on a forum.

I recently damaged two sabertooth 2x25 v2 drives, which I would like to replace. These are not available before June. What comparable product can I get that is available and can I interface with an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 arduino

Thanks in advance for your help.

We are sorry to hear about the problem. These Sabretooth drivers can be repaired by manufacturer (Dimension Engineering) but you have to contact them.

Regarding some suggestions.

Here is the driver that is on stock but the price is high:

Here are some drivers similar to Sabertooth but also out of stock:

Hi, here is other product can replace it:

The driver support PWM/DIR mode so It is easy work with Arduino. You can use a software PWM lib to config any Arduino Pin as Pwm signal to control the driver,
Here is example:
void setup()
{
pinMode(10, OUTPUT); // the declared pin must be among the PWM pins.
}
void loop()
{
analogWrite(10, 255); // 255 is the highest value.
//We can modify the value as per the required brightness.
delay(1000);
analogWrite(10, 0);
delay(1000); // time delay of 1 second or 1000 milliseconds
}
