modifying a rc car(truck i guess) to operate off a sabertooth and the ez-b. Any responces are welcome
Specs: Sabertooth 2x12 Ez-b V3 2, 2.8-3A dc motors w/6A peak standard servo for steering
Rc car torn apart:
the main body. the wheels were driven by one motor and gears. going to modify and put 2 motors directly(with gearboxes) on the wheels. then attach to the sabertooth and yadi yadi ya.

Check the Tutorials for help.
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.
Every control has a question mark next to the close X button. Pressing the question mark button will direct you to a tutorial page for the respective control
have you seen a pic? i read that theres two channels/cables.
shows it in the vid i posted:
ARC supports Simplified Serial Mode at 38400 baud rate on the configured port.
All of the information needed is on the help page
It only needs one Signal Wire connected to S1 on the Sabertooth. The Sabertooth H-Bridge control only has the option of using one port.
ok. when i'm not broke and get the sabertooth ill experiment. mostly understand the instructions.
entire back is done and it looks great! lots of dremeling though. went from one motor to 2 with gear boxes. Will post pic later.
@Technopro
Rich is correct. Each EZ-B port has a +5v, Gnd, & signal pin. You will need to hook the signal pin of the digital port you are using to S1 on the Sabertooth. You can also power the EZ-B using the 5V and 0V terminals on the Sabertooth if you want to. If you choose to power your Sabertooth separate from the EZ-B then one thing you must be sure of is to make sure they share a common ground.
