Thank you so much! I have to try to hook it up and see if I can get it up and running.

I am a little bit confused regarding how I should hook the Sabertooth controllers to the Arduino, when I look at this code: https://github.com/SuperDroidRobots/RC_Mecanum_PWM/blob/master/RC_Mecanum_PWM/hardware.h.

How does the PWM pin defined in the code correspond with the outputs on the Sabertooth? As I see there is defined one PWM for each motor for controlling speed, and two pins for controlling the direction. When it comes to the Sabertooth I do not understand how to connect this.

I am also wondering about what the LED pins defined are?

Thank you. It seems like I get the motor to run by just applying a 3s LiPo battery. Will try to use the Sabertooths. It would be fun to implement the servo drivers and make the robot programable, but righ now I have not time for that. I am doing a school project, and I am about to finsih it very soon. (this is outside my field of studt, and what I am expected to do, but I want to take this a little bit longer).

Thank you for your answer.

I was not fully aware of the difference of servo motor and DC-motor, but I see now that I should have ordered plain DC-motors.

When I was looking at your robots it seemed like that you were using Sabertooth 2×12.

The problem right now is that I have ordered the Sabertooths, and do not have much time left, so I can most likely not wait for new motors and drivers to be delivered.

I have some servodrivers like these https://robokits.download/downloads/RMCS-2303%20updated%20datasheet.pdf. It would probalby be hard to implement your code for these?
