sabertooth blow easy unless very careful.have to use special wire and switch . I've blown a several myself. but they have a good customer service.batteries has to be 2 x 12v each @ 35AH.wheelchair batteries.
@@WV591 maybe they need a antispark power plugs, does the MDDS30 SmartDrive it is better and more reliable than saberooth 2x32? should i buy MDDS30 SmartDrive over sabertooth?
I was able to hook things up, but. I want to power the receiver from a step down power source not from the controller. When the switch is turned off to cut power to the controller I noticed power was still on and the receiver power was also (seperate source) on. I could still run the motors with TX. Not good.when I unplugged the power from the step down everything would be off. When the main power is turned on the controller powers up as well as the RX and the motors can be controlled by the TX. I don't want to power the RX from the motor controller only by the step down transformer. Am I going to have to cut the positive and ground(negative) wires to the RX? I'm so close to buttoning mine up to take for a spin.
SW1 & 2 = 00 if you using RC which almost everyone does SW 3 & 4 = 00 if using mix mode if using microcontroller then 11 SW5 = 0 Linear control ( 1 if you using high speed motor) SW6 = 0 All in the manual
@@WV591 will do! I have actually just gotten my final parts in today. And I managed to get a electric start Toro mower for a steal. So it will all be remote operated!
have you thought of adding a gyro compass? might smooth out that oscillation.
What kind of battery set up do uou have? I just blew up a sabertooth 2x32 getting a cytron to replace it.

Excellent build sir! How has the controller lasted?
Still going strong. very solid.

I have no idea why you want to make it so complicated but best of luck.upload a vid when finished.
How did you set the DIP switches on your board? I'm a bit confused on what they should be.
SW1 & 2 = 00 if you using RC which almost everyone does
SW 3 & 4 = 00 if using mix mode if using microcontroller then 11
SW5 = 0 Linear control ( 1 if you using high speed motor)
SW6 = 0

@@WV591 thanks for the repy!

@@zak4477 type of electric wheelchair motors you use make all the difference in final design.
hi can you charge those batteries using mdds30 controller?
mdds30 controller doesn't charge batteries. I use a trickle charger in between sessions to keep the batteries healthy.
Mdds30 how long does it last?
They last a long time. Unless you use wrong size or type wires or connect them incorrectly.
