Can any1 help me to wire/code Syren10 (or any other Syren doesn't matter) and Kangaroo X2 and Arduino
My goal is to control a 12v DC Motor through Serial communication, I need to turn the motor by angle
I managed to do it with my L298n H Bridge, but it I find out it's too weak for my purpose.
I switched to Syren10 and the Kangaroo X2 for the PID Control
I set the Syren10 DIP to 9600 Baud rate, the Kangaroo X2 DIP set all to ON
My wiring diagram:

I use a 12v Pololu 37D Metal Gearmotor with encoder Gear Ratio 30:1, a Syren10 motor driver with a Kangaroo x2 Motion Controller
Also I use an Arduino Uno and I'm using a 12V power supply
Can any1 help me the code?
I tried the example from the library without success, the Motor is just spinning slowly in an endless loop

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Kangaroo.h>
// Arduino TX (pin 11) goes to Kangaroo S1
// Arduino RX (pin 10) goes to Kangaroo S2
// Arduino GND goes to Kangaroo 0V
// Arduino 5V goes to Kangaroo 5V (OPTIONAL, if you want Kangaroo to power the Arduino)
#define TX_PIN 11
#define RX_PIN 10
// Independent mode channels on Kangaroo are, by default, '1' and '2'.
SoftwareSerial SerialPort(RX_PIN, TX_PIN);
KangarooSerial K(SerialPort);
KangarooChannel K1(K, '1');
KangarooChannel K2(K, '2');
void setup()
{
SerialPort.begin(9600);
SerialPort.listen();
K1.start();
K1.home().wait();
}
// .wait() waits until the command is 'finished'. For position, this means it is within the deadband
// distance from the requested position. You can also call K1.p(position); without .wait() if you want to command it
// but not wait until it gets to the destination. If you do this, you may want to use K1.getP().value()
// to check progress.
void loop()
{
// Go to the minimum side at whatever speed limit is set on the potentiometers.
long minimum = K1.getMin().value();
K1.p(minimum).wait();
delay(2000);
// Going to the maximum side, limit speed to 1/10th of the range per second
// (at least 10 seconds of travel time).
long maximum = K1.getMax().value();
long speedLimit = (maximum - minimum) / 10;
K1.p(maximum, speedLimit).wait();
delay(2000);
}
