Still on the phone. Pardon the jacked up spelling.
The arduino is monitoring the ppm out of the receivrr with is a combined output of all 6 channels of the receiver. Ppm is not something that drives a servo, pwm drives a servo. The ppm signal tells the arduino if the receiver is on and linked to the transmitter. In other words if the transmitter is on and transmitting its carrier/link signal. Once the link between the transmitter and receiver has been established the transmitter can start sending the varying signal to the receiver to move the servos. The arduino would see this on the ppm signal. The arduino is not seeing any data from the ppm channel and the sabertooth is not seeing any data on the pwm channels.
The transmitter, when hooked up to a pc and using the right software, shows that the stick is transmitting on the appropriate channel and the appropriate signal. I suppose the actual transmitter in the tranmitter could be bad, but then why are we getting link? (Retorical)
Thanks for helping btw
