I want to control two dc motor by arduino throght Pololu Qik 2s12v10 Dual Serial Motor Controller

please if any one help me with the code?

Connect one of your motors to motor 0 outputs and the other to motor 1 outputs. Connect Vin and GND on the right of the board to the motors power supply. Now, on the left side connect Vin to 5v on arduino and gnd to gnd. Now connect the RX and TX to arduino pins 2 & 3, you can use newsoftserial to set up communication. Make shure you set it up at 1200 baud, thats what the data sheet says.

Sorry its so brief but I dont have much time right now, msg me later for help if need be.

i connect the RX of motor driver to Tx of arduino and GND fro motor driver to GND of arduino and using the following code

#include <NewSoftSerial.h>

NewSoftSerial motor =  NewSoftSerial(2,3);

void setup()
{
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  motor.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
  motor.print(0x80, BYTE);

}

but it doesnt work?????
