Hi great project it Thegoodrobot it was Pacomms I believe with the working Sabretooth controller not sure so

Serching for post please stand by .......

Thegoodrobot did you not see my other post to your problem?

I think that just disconnecting your RC gear and plugging in the EZ B will cause the controller to do a safety shut down through loss of signal.

Also it's the outside pin of the EZ B not the middle one. Did you try this????????

I have a set of motors/gear boxes out of a Barbie Corvette power wheels complete with wiring harness if anyone wants to do some trading? I have opted for wheel chair motors for my my big bot and don't need these.

Hey winstn you need to put the same hat on your bot.

The sabertooth may shut down because of loss of signal but when I turn main power off then on, shouldn't it reset?

Also I used d0 and d1, only the signal wire into the s1 and s2, and the grounds from d0 and d1 to low negative side of the sabertooth.

I will work on it again next Friday. I think I read all your posts about the sabertooth. I am going to try a few more of everyone's suggestions and make sure I'm looking at it right.

Thanks

Yes I agree about the hat unfortunately its a mates and not mine.

The only thing I thought was that you used the wrong Pin on th EZ-B board ports it's the outside pins on the V3 board that you should connect to the Sabretooth controller.

This is opposite to the V2.1 boards but not many people have those. I have both btw

Bret. What would you be looking for to trade for the motors/gearbox? I don't have much robot gear yet, but I have some computer gear, android phones, cash...

Let me know what you might be interested in.

Finally got my Sabertooth 2x12. Took some time to figure it out but I now have it working with 2 wiper motors and the EZ-B. Everything I read on the forums said to set the Sabertooth to RC mode. I got everything working when I set it to the microcontroller pulses mode. Dip switch settings are 1-off 2-on 3-on 4-off 5-on 6-off. Now to actually build the bot.
