hi every one

is it possible to control Sabertooth Dual 5A R/C 6-18V Regenerative Motor Driver (R/C) with Arduino, BasicStamp 2 or with SSC32???

if yes is there any guide line !!!

thanks a lot in advance

Yes, you can control a Sabertooth using almost any microcontroller or RC servo controller. If you tell us which one you prefer, we can provide a schematic.
Note that the Sabertooth is the suggested motor controller for all wheeled and tracked robots by Lynxmotion:

hi CBenson

thanks for replay

currently I will use SSC32 but later on I will use arduino

waiting your replay

thanks a lot

If you want to use the Sabertooth wit hteh SSC-32U, you can treat it like a normal RC servo (set the DIP switches to RC mode) and you’re done.
Be sure to remove the power wires from the cables connecting the Sabertooth to the SSC-32U since they provide 5V power, and you are likely powering the SSC-32U separately.

As for connecting the Sabertooth to the BotBoarduino (or any Arduino), consider:
