Control your USB-enabled Sabertooth with reliable Packet Serial.

Demonstrates the use of power outputs P1 and P2 as additional controllable outputs.

// This example treats the power outputs P1 and P2 as controllable outputs,
// useful for fans, lights, single-direction motors, etc.
//
// The power outputs are not, by default, controllable outputs.
// You will need to use the DEScribe software, available at
// http://www.dimensionengineering.com/describe
// To configure them, in DEScribe,
// (1) Connect and Download Settings,
// (2) On the Power Outputs tab, set Mode to 'Controllable Output', and then
// (3) Upload Settings to Device
// This sample will then work.
// See the SoftwareSerial example in 3.Advanced for how to use other pins.
USBSabertooth ST(C, 128); // The USB Sabertooth is on address 128 (unless you've changed it with DEScribe).
// We'll name its object ST.
//
// If you've set up your Sabertooth on a different address, of course change
// that here. For how to configure the Sabertooth, see the DIP Switch Wizard at
// http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/USBSabertoothDIPWizard/start.htm
// Be sure to select Packet Serial Mode for use with this library.

ST.power(1, value); // Tip: Typing ST.power(value) does the same thing as ST.power(1, value).
delay(20); // If you often use only one power output, this alternative can save you typing.
