Summary

Specifies the extent of the Sabertooth’s deadband

Description

Use this property to specify the extent of the Sabertooth’s deadband - the range of commands close to “stop” that will be interpreted as stop.



This setting applies to all modes and persists through a power cycle. The commands range from 0 to 127 and the formula is as follows: 127-command \< motors off \< 128+command.

Thus, a command of 3 would shut the motors off with speed commands between 124 and 131.

A command of 0 sets the deadband to its default, which is 124 < off \< 131 in serial mode.
