How to use in other programs

Look at files in SabertoothSerial/examples/ to get an idea of how to use. Implementation of import may be different when trying to use in your own program.

importing would look like

from SabertoothSerial.SabertoothDriverSimple import SerialMotorControl

If using linux, you need to make examples executable before attempting to run directly from source

chmod +x file-name.py
