Serial
Serial mode is used to control the Sabertooth 2x32 from a PC or microcontroller.
Setup
There are a variety of serial communication protocols that can be used with Sabertooth 2x32. By default,
all of these modes use 9600 baud, 8N1 TTL serial levels. The baud rate can be changed using the
DEScribe PC software.

Wiring
Wire the S1 connection on the Sabertooth 2x32 to the serial TX pin of your microcontroller. To use any
command that reports data back from the Sabertooth 2x32, connect the S2 terminal to the Serial RX pin
of your microcontroller. Connect the 0V terminal to the microcontroller’s ground. The Sabertooth 2x32’s
5V output may be used to provide power to the microcontroller.
