Sabertooth 2x5 RC

Hey Everyone!

I am very new to this so bear with me, but i am trying to use a sabertooth 2x5 RC motor controller in conjunction with my Bot Board II and Basic Stamp 2. I have powered up everything sucessfully and my basic stamp editor is recognizing the basic stamp. But i need help with the dip switches on the sabertooth.

I am trying to program the robot to be fully autonomous, i am using a 9-volt battery to power each board. and i have connected the leads from the sabertooth to the bot board in the inputs 0 and 1, and removed the jumper (to remove power because im not using a reciever)

I was wondering if there is a place to look for sample code. i am not a computer programmer just a novice struggling to learn and i though sample code would be a good place to learn how to controll my robot. any advice or direction would be helpful.

Search the www for basic stamp 2 code for controlling servos. The motor controller acts the same as a servo that has been modified for continuous rotation. The easiest way to control it is with independant control of the left and right motors. So it steers like a tank. You can also control the motors with the Sabertooths built in mixer for throttle and steering control. [/code]
