Picking The Right Sabertooth

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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?

NOOOOO... LOL Just 2 wires (see my picture)... Ground on sabertooth (or as mine says 0V) to grd (black pin) on D0.... S1 on sabrertooth to white data pin on EZB... DO NOT connect anything to +5 on the sabertooth or the red pin on the ezb

Got it I copied that from the ST Tutorial :O Hope its still ok, no smoke, but, fingers crossed. So common ground from the opposite side as the Motor terminals. All i have for control is a start button, no movement panel, which do i use?

The grounding makes more sense now:) Didnt make sense to get its power from the EZB.

The +5V on the sabertooth is a bec... it is used to power a device like a radio receiver for remote control...

So much to learn! Pushing through the fear of blowing things up lol

Just don't reverse the polarity on your shiny new sabertooth... You gotta' love the smell of burnt electronics in the morning, don't ya' :P

Only part im still confused on, is that the script only gives me a Start button, with no other controls. My apologies, but i missed something along the way.
