@jrick63,

Another option is the qik. It is a dual serial motor controller from Pololu. I got one from Sparkfun. Works pretty good....easy to setup too. The one i have supports two motors. Probably similar to the BV4113

Alright guys i dont mean to waist your time, im new to this stuff and i am trying to teach myself so sorry if i seem to sound dumb. So basically for all these ideas i was given, do i still have to run a transmitter so my controller can read it and perform the task. If im going to be running my system off of two 12v batteries can i run the power to them or would i want to run a different power source to my actuators? here is a picture of what im working with!

everyone, be careful. if you are using an electric wheelchair, you may have 24 volt system. it may be 2 of the 12 volt batteries in series, which doubles the 12 volt. this will be too much voltage for the ez-b.
