Sabertooth’s M1 output to turn. A command of M3: 500 would control the M1 output of the second
Sabertooth.
Serial Timeout
If the Sabertooth has not gotten a new command within this amount of time, it will assume the host
program has locked up and shut down the motors. Sending a new valid command will cause the motors
to restart. A setting of Infinity means the motors will run at the last commanded speed forever.
Alternate Address
This option is used to set the packet serial address of the Sabertooth. This is used in conjunction with
DIP switch 5 in Serial mode. You can also force this address in all modes with the checkbox.
Command sets
These options tell the Sabertooth to use or ignore certain command sets. These would typically be set
for robustness if you are using CRC protected packets.
Exponential
These cause selected serial commands to be processed through the exponential maps. This can reduce
the load on the host processor.
