Pololu Motor Controller

I got the Pololu Micro Dual Serial Motor Controller. I'm confused by the instructions on sending commands to the motor controller. I can get one motor to run at a time. How can I get two motors to run at same time?

    Jeffrey,

    Where you have one serial command like: "SEROUT 14,84,[noparse][[/noparse]$80,0,0,speed]", just follow it with the serial command for the second motor.

    FOR speed = 0 TO 127
    SEROUT 14,84,[noparse][[/noparse]$80,0,0,speed]
    SEROUT 14,84,[noparse][[/noparse]$80,0,2,speed]
    PAUSE 20
    NEXT

    That should get both motors running at the same time.

    Rick
