Need Help Wiring Remote Control Lawn Mower

Hi all,

This is a great forum and I am glad I found it! I am working on a 4wd remote control mower build. Here is what I have: 20 hp electric start briggs gas engine DX5E controller 2 battle switches sabertooth 2x60 motor controller 2 x wheel chair motors

This is the second remote mower project, the first one turned out great but it did not have electric start or electric deck adjustment. I need help figuring out how to wire the starter to start the gas engine via the remote. I also need help wiring an electric screw jack to be able to adjust the deck height up and down via the remote control. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

kwalker - what ezb controller are you using? Some of them can have a kill/safety switch for losing wifi or signal

I am new to this and really know nothing... the controller that seems to be most popular is the sabertooth 2X32 or 2X60.......or can I wire directly from the battery to the battleswitch...thanks for you patience.... not really versed in electronics....

That's a motor controller, not the microcontroller. You'll need a micro of some sort to receive the program and instructions from the software that makes the robot move. The most popular of the ezb's people use for this is the EZ-Robot EZ-B v4. But, if the robot has the computer mounted on it, then using an arduino is fine as an ezb. The best computer to mount on the robot with a camera is the latte panda (i prefer)
