I have my RC lawnmower working great right now. I bought an ezb so that I could use it from the couch via wifi. Looks like the ez connects to the sabertooth via gnd, +5 and S1. Which pins on the ezb do I use for that? ACD or Digital?
It looks like the ezb will be powered via the sabertooth, will not need batteries for it?
You can use any digital port for the S1 and Gnd. I believe the Sabertooth Movement Panel expects you to use D0 (not home so can't look right not). You would connect to the ground and signal of the digital port.
You don't need the +5. The VCC port on the Sabertooth doesn't give a lot of amps, so if you are controlling anything other than the Sabertooth, you will want separate power to the EZ-B. If you are just controlling the Sabertooth, then the EZ-B will run on 5v, but you need to disable the low battery alert (and I woudl recommend an IoTiny, since you don't need all of the ports of a full EZ-B).
Depending on the voltage of your lawnmower, and what you are controlling, you could use the same power source as your motors or use the same power source with a good voltage regulator.

From the Sabertooth manual:
Thanks Alan, much appreciated. I will use the ez camera. Will look up the power requirements for that
