Sabertooth 2X25
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?

I am not...

question
Stand Alone Operation?
I am a potential new customer looking to understand the EZ-Robot developer's kit. My question is: Is the kit capable of stand alone operation? Or, will my robot require wired/wireless tethering to a host computer to do everything? Specifically interested in the speech recognition functions.
