saberrs

saberrs is a library for interfacing with Dimension Engineering Sabertooth motor driver.

Currently only the Sabertooth 2x32 is supported.

Full documentation: https://docs.rs/saberrs

Simple usage

In Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
saberrs = "0.3"

In application code:

use saberrs::sabertooth2x32::{Sabertooth2x32, PacketSerial};

// Create a handle. This will use "PacketSerial" protocol.
let mut saber = PacketSerial::new("/dev/ttyS0")?;

// Go forward at half-speed (50.0%)
saber.set_drive(0.5)?;
saber.set_turn(0.0)?;

// Request the battery voltage from motor 1.
let vbat : f32 = saber.get_voltage(1)?;

// Stop the motors
saber.stop_motors()?;

Other protocol variants can be used:

use saberrs::sabertooth2x32::{Sabertooth2x32, PacketSerial, PacketType, PlainText};

// "PacketSerial" with specified address and frame protection type (checksum or crc).
let mut saber = PacketSerial::new("/dev/ttyS0")?
    .with_packet_type(PacketType::Checksum)
    .with_address(129);

// "PlainText" protocol
let mut sabertext = PlainText::new("/dev/ttyS1")?;
