8	8	|(% colspan="3" %)The following steps are described for the Lynxmotion BotBoarduino microcontroller and Dimension Engineering Sabertooth 2x12A DC motor controller. Note that the DIP switch setup for other Sabertooth motor controllers may not be the same. Should you have selected a different microcontroller, FPGA or single board computer, or a different motor controller, it is your responsibility to read the user guide and understand the electronic setup, connections and power requirements.
