    Hello,
    I have the Sabertooth 2X60 and the Kangaroo 2X motion controller controlling two wheelchair motors. Hooking up the DElink USB 2, I cant seem to be able to hook it to my computer using the DEScribe program. Do I have the wrong switch settings, or will this just not work out?

    That should work just fine. Be sure that the motor controller is set to packetized serial mode with an address of 128. Dip setting 00 11 11.

    Also be sure that your DELink is connected properly. Tx on the DELink should be connected to S1 on the Kangaroo, Rx should be connected to S2. Be sure that you have a ground connected but not power. When doing autotuning you will need to restart the motor controller and I find it easier to turn the motor controller off instead of unplugging the DELink and losing your COM port.

    So, would I connect the Sabertooth to my battery to program the Kangaroo?

    That is correct. I would suggest powering the combined Sabertooth+Kangaroo with your drive battery. I find it makes tuning it in Describe a little bit easier.
