Hello. I am new here. I am new to robotics as well.
I am building a large, heavy robot ("Lost In Space" replica). It will be driven by wheel chair motors. The rest of the movements will be made with automotive windshield wiper motors, or similar. They will all be wired to automotive Bosch relays wired for forward or reverse. Will this hardware hook up to relays? If so, what would I need to get started? I would like to incorporate sensors, perhaps feedback from the wiper motors parking switches, camera, etc.
This looks like a good starting point from what I can see. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Danger,
Im working on a project like yours , I got 2 scooter motors working with a sabertooth 2x225 and another motor working with a syren10 all by using a wireless xbox controller.
Pm me if ya need some help
Thanks GotRobbed. I need to get my board and start playing with it, and figure out exactly which controller I am going to use, then go from there. I will keep your offer in mind if I get stuck (probably when I get stuck would be more accurate).
And Bret, there's your chanceeek. Go for it! Even if it is not all there, those are all of the hard parts to get. I am allready comiited to srcatch building mine now.
Hi danger I made a post a few messages back for a 68 amp h bridge with regenerative brake that can connect to ezb , take in mind in that post I had two different ebay links. I've bought a couple 30a power supplies that work very well from them. Cheap but it will take a couple weeks to get them.
I saw that Jstarne, thanks. Help me out though please. It says "double" in the name, but it looks like it only controls one motor. There are two battery "wires" and only two "out" wires. Will I need two? I don't mind buying two. It would still be half the price of what I was looking at. I just want to know.

Hey yeah the 68 amp controller you would need two. But its half the cost of a sabertooth. Just make sure you install a excellent heatsink and fan. There are lots of p4 CPU heatsinks with fans out there that will easily keep these cool. That's how I'm cooling mine.
Thanks Jstarne. That sounds like the way to go. I'll order them this weekend.
