Connecting Wild Thumper To Ez-B

I recently got the EZ-Robot Complete Kit and Wild Thumper with Gripper. While looking at the Wild Thumper, it did not look like it had any connectors for connecting it to the EZ-B that comes with the Complete Kit. Does the Wild Thumper require the 2.5 Amp Motor Controller from the shopping page? I would like to connect the Wild Thumper directly to the EZ-B, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello welcome to EZ Robot ! To control your motors you will want to pick up two l298n motor controllers because this model is 4wd (meaning it has 4 motors) One l298n controller powers 2 of the wild thumper motors. The l298n controller has a video tutorial. You would repeat those steps 4 times because this platform has 4 motors.

Is the I298n the 2.5 Amp Motor Controller item on the EZ-Robot shopping page? Is this the only way to connect the Wild Thumper's wheel motors to the EZ-B? Also, are there any videos of how to do this? I have been unable to find any good tutorials on connecting Wild Thumper to the EZ-B. Thanks.

Its not specifically a video for the wild thumper but yes there is a video. A hbridge like the one on ez robots store is what you need. Obviously there other brands but this one is supported with videos.
