Basic Stamp 2 programming

robotics81

hey everyone,

I am very new to robotics and i am having a little trouble.· I bought a Bot Board II with a basic stamp 2 and a sabertooth 2x5 R/C motor controller i think i have it all hooked up correctly but i cant figure out exactly how the DIP swtiches should be set on the sabertooth and i was wondering if anyone had a program written that might work to just make it move a little and turn or something.· I am having trouble makeing it do anything at all right now, and thought someone could give me·some direction.· I do know that the basic stamp editor is communicating with the basic stamp chip and the good power lights are on so it is powered correctly for both boards.· Thanks

It would be helpful to include a copy of the documentation for your motor controller and some documentation for the Bot Board II. These are not Parallax products and the documentation is not available here. Most of the help here is from interested volunteers and it's a bit of work for us to try to find the relevant documentation ourselves.
