Saberttooth 2x12 motor control issue with driving motor from RC car

Hi,

I have an RC truck which i stripped and have kept only the motors.  I have tested that the motors work fine by connecting directly to a batter source.    Now i want to be able to control the motor using my Arduino Duemilanove + Sabertooth 2x12 (non-RC version).

I am certain i made all the correct connections based on the documentation: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/Sabertooth2x12.pdf

-Motor to M1 A/B
-Batter to B-/+
-Arduino pin 10 (pwm) to Sabertooth S1
-And Sabertooth ground to arduino ground.

-Also set dip switches 1,4,6  down and others up.

The code i am using to test is the one found here:  http://se.inf.ethz.ch/people/wei/robots/arduino_sabertooth2x12/sabertooth.html

The problem is...nothing.  The motors do not move.  
Using a volt meter, i do not see not see any readings when i test across M1 A/B.  Should there be a reading here? 


Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,the hardware setup looks

Hi,

the hardware setup looks ok. Have you changed the pin number in the Sabertooth Sketch sketch from 14 to 10?

 

Yes i did.
