Control Modes
Sabertooth 2x32 has four main control modes, plus a special User mode that can be used to create
custom control modes. Control Modes are selected via the six DIP switches. DIP switches 1 and 2 select
the control mode, and DIP switches 4, 5 and 6 select the options within each control mode.
Analog
Analog control uses analog voltages to send commands to the Sabertooth 2x32. This is the simplest way
to control a Sabertooth. These voltages can be generated by potentiometers, switches, joysticks or
digital to analog converters. The input voltage range is 0 volts to 5 volts. Custom ranges can be set using
the DEScribe PC software. In Analog the S1, S2, A1 and A2 terminals are analog inputs. They are
internally pulled down to 0V if not connected to a signal.
An analog joystick connected to a Sabertooth 2x32
To use analog mode with a potentiometer or joystick, connect the negative terminals to 0V. Connect
both positive terminals to 5V. Feed the signals into S1 and S2. If used, A1 and A2 are connected the
same way.
