Picking The Right Sabertooth

Hey guys:) Im looking at getting a Sabertooth on order and not really which one to go with. I'm using a Jazzy Elite Electric Chair, that states a 40 amp system, but cant find anything on the motors for amperage. Doesn anyone have some experience with the Jazzy that can give me some insight?

1, 3 and 6 up (rest down) if your are using a non lipo or li-Ion and if your using 38,400 baud... This is for a 2 x 12 sabertooth... I am assuming it is the same for the 2 x 25... You have the battery connected to the sabertooth, right?

sendserial(D0,38400,127) #full forward channel 1 sendserial(D0,38400,255) #full forward channel 2

sendserial(D0,38400,0) #stop both channels

Using an NI-MH Battery pack. How do i double check/set the Baud? Reading the manual now, but haven't made it that far yet

Ok, make sure everything is hooked up correctly then in a script enter the below... then run it...

#enter in a script S1 on the sabertooth to D0 data pin (white pin) 0V or ground on the sabertooth to ground on D0

sendserial(D0,38400,0) #stop both channels sleep(1000) sendserial(D0,38400,127) #full forward channel 1 sendserial(D0,38400,255) #full forward channel 2 sleep(4000) sendserial(D0,38400,0) #stop both channels

Using the ST Movement panel, plus script? I can see the Baud rte in the movement panel, plus the settings you have listed here. Power is connected from the EZB and Signal wire to S 1

No try the script I gave you separately .... Are there any leds lit up on the sabertooth?

To be clear no power from the ezb, just 2 wires S1 and grn... battery is separate to the sabertooth

#22  

S1 to DO white data pin, grn or 0V (on the sabertooth ) to D0 ground (black pin).... no other wires to the sabertooth

#23  

Sorry about the bad picture had to throw it together so to speak...

yes, I had 1 Blue LED on.

"The EZ-B connects to the GND, +5 and Signal to the Sabertooth. The Signal from the EZ-B connects to S1 on the Sabertooth." This is how i hooked it up, and was understanding this to mean to hoo k the + and _ plus Signal to S1
