In my large, outdoor robot, I'm using the Sabertooth motor controller. Mine is the 2x25 and controls the big motors very well. I tried to get Linorobot to control my robot with the BTS controllers but they didn't work well at all. Could you please make the Sabertooth an option in the hardware setup routine? I tried to integrate it myself but my programming skills aren't up to it! Sabertooth has a "simplified serial" mode that is easy to program, so I use a separate Raspberry Pi to do it now. The Pi has its own WiFi connection, too, so it works well with no pauses or burps. But then the rest of the Linorobot stack isn't involved the same, and issues arise from this.

Also, I'd love to see the BNO08X IMU included. I have the Adafruit model and it has excellent output. It will output Quaternion, Gyro, Magnetic, acceleration, etc.
