How to set up a 2 motors drive using Sabertooth Speed control.


What you need: 
(2) 12v batteries
(2) DC 12V motors
A speed control: Sabertooth 2x25
A receiver and a transmitter 
An extra battery for the receiver (You DO NOT need this if your receiver use less than 5 volts)
some wires

First, connect the motors to the speed control (sabertooth 2x25)

Next, connect the speed control to the receiver. 

And then, Connect the (2) 12V batteries to the speed control as you see above. 


Last, connect the 6V battery to the receiver. 

You should be ready to go!!!

Shoot me questions if you need to.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to build a simple power wheelchair for india. I build 4 versions of my own drive, but they all burnt out.

    Now i am thinking of using the sabertooth 2x25 controlled by a 2 pot joystick.

    can you make a video about how to go about this.

    Thanks

    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    I don't have a 2pot joystick so I don't really know how I gonna do that. but I will see if I can find any 2 pot joystick over the spring and see if i can help you out.

    You should tell me more about your project, it sounds fun!!!
