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.
