@Richard R LOL Yes i saw that in one of the videos, dont need a room full of magical smoke, Sad Day Thanks again, i'm much more at ease now! Now for the Mini ITX. Need bags full of money

DanaW going bigger won't hurt anything. I use roboclaw which is sort of like sabretooth. I burned one channel of a 2 x30 out and had to send the controller on for repair. I am using wheel chair motors that were supposedly rated at 20 amps. My bot weighs in at just under 180 lbs though. Tech report showed an over current condition happened. This controller also had built in over current protection but still burned a component on the board. I upgraded to robocclaw 2 x 60 and have never looked back. I use the 2 x 30 roboclaw for the shoulders wheelchair motors now, but these motors are not nearly as strong as I had hoped. Anyways good luck!

You think that's bad... Our Canadian dollar has dropped so much, I need a wheel barrow full of money just to shop in the ez robot store... stress

@kamaroman68 ...Yours could have had a fault... And it's a Roboclaw (although based on the Sabertooth design) a completely different company and a different design... Every sabertooth I happened to over current have just shut down and reset... None burned out....

@kamaroman68 I was planning on the 2x60, but trying to split a dollar for ways this week, lol , so decided to got 2x25, and baby it for now. I wa on the fence for the Roboclaw, or the Sabertooth, and i hadn't seen any negative feedback at all on the ST so just went with the crowd. @Richard R We just need to talk DJ in to running a buy one, get one free sale one day a week, for the Canadian shoppers!

Ironically (actually I do know why) it's a Canadian business that list products in US dollars....

:( True

Received my Sabertooth, and trying to avoid smoke I'm set up with Pin 1 Up, 2-5 Down, and Pin 6 Up as shown in the Sabertooth Tutorial, and set up. I plugged into D0, and wired up as shown, but not getting any kind of voltage to the M- M+ on either motor output.

Any thoughts?
