Dimension Engineering's Sabertooth dual motor speed controllers are a versatile, easy way to independently control two motors. They're available in 2 x 5 Amp, 2 x 10 Amp, 2 x 25 Amp, and 2 x 50 Amp versions, each with the same great features and functionality for reliable operation and long life. Each version has a built-in 5V battery eliminating circuit, or BEC so you don't need a separate battery for your receiver. The 5 and 10 amp versions have prewired PWM leads and connectors, but the 25 and 50 amp versions do not. Hookup is simple. On a standard PWM cable, the black or brown lead is ground, the red lead is a positive voltage from a receiver battery or BEC, and the white or orange lead is signal. To connect two independent channels to the sabertooth, you'll need two RC male connectors with bare leads at the other end. Connect both black leads to the terminal labeled 0V, and both red leads to the terminal labeled 5V. Then connect one white lead to S1 and the other to S2. These will correspond to motors one and two, respectively, or in mixed move, throttle and steering, respectively. Connect your battery positive to the B+ terminal and battery negative to the B- terminal. The battery and motor connections are the same on all the sabertooth models. Connect motor one's leads to M1A and M1B, and motor two's leads to M2A and M2B. The dip switches control the various functions of the Sabertooth, such as input mode, low-voltage lithium battery cutoff, exponential response, mixing mode, and serial mode. For more information on setting your dip switches, refer to the user's guide that comes with your Sabertooth. I'm going to demonstrate a simple setup using RC control, with and without mixing. Without mixing, each channel controls ones motor. When you enable mixing, the Sabertooth will allow you to use a single joystick for drive on an airplane transmitter so that when you push the stick forward, both motors turn forward. It also allows you to use a pistol-grip style transmitter with a differential-drive vehicle. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Not an "official" endorsement or linked to anyone but me, but Sabertooths are the defacto, *highly* encouraged choice when using scooter motors or other brushed DC motors in R2/Droid building. Dimension Engineering is SO helpful when it comes to support. There must be hundreds and hundreds of droids working off the 2x25 or 2x32 Sabertooth.
I bought a 2x10 with the heat sink for my Son's Sumo Bot. Man it works great! We hooked up two motors in parallel per side and works them nicely. It'd a 2kg bot and the control doesn't even get warm. I would recommend this speed control for any type of robots. Nice hook up video too. Between you and the instruction sheet we had it wired up in 2 minutes!
i have used the sabertooth 2X25 before and loved it! i had it in a 15lb battlebot, great response and took a beating no problem. i only wish it had an output for a relay from a third channel for activating my weapon. ended up using a pico switch. i was ultimately happy with my results and would love to get my hands on another one!!!
The 2x25 isn't to bad. We used it in our first year 15lb battle bot a while ago. They're fairly rugged as long as you secure it down, we used velcro.
For Sabertooth dual 12A motor driver how many v can you put thought 24v? And can you use 2 12v motors
Do you know if this controller is suitable for four motors instead of two?
Will a 7.4V 30C 5200mAh battery be sufficient to run the sabertooth and two 12VDC motors? Need help ASAP
I have a sabertooth 2×32 can I use the aux input /output to trigger a solid state relay with my Rc remote.
hey.. thanks for the great video... i am building a 4 Wheel Drive. can you please explain how to wire the 4 motors using the same Sabretooth Drive Controller please.
Hi, i will make a homemade Segway and i think in use a Sabertooth 2x25 with a Brushless motor, the Sabertooth works with a Sabertooth?
what receiver are you using?
is there any cheap alternative of sabertooth 2×25 pmdc motor driver.
Does anyone know if two saber tooth boards can be controlled by one RC transmitter? I need to make a four-wheels drive RC lawnmower. Thanks in advance for your inputs.
I have power going into the Sabertooth but I get no green on light. Can improper Dip switch settings be a cause?
Hello. Can you help me with configuring the 2X60 ?
Is there any benefit of running dual motor controller vs 2 single motor controllers?
Brand new to Sabertooth .... I have a 2x32a & a Flysky FS CT6B. My tx is bound...what channels do I connect on my rx? you've made it clear where the six wires go on the sabertooth, but where on the receiver? thanks
Your receiver should be clearly marked which pins are for what, but there are 3 per channel: Positive, Ground, and Signal. Your Receiver should have marked which is ground by a "-". Positive is always in the center, and the signal wire goes to the opposite pin from ground. + is usually a red wire, ground is usually black or brown, and signal is usually white or orange. Depending on your application, you may not need to hook up the red wire at all, but you should always use the other two.
What is your esc name? Thanks
Hello. Sabertooth 2x60 connection is the same?
friend I can call a servant rc in place of the engine?
what reciever is that?
Can it take commands from GPIO bus?
2 people told me on receiver only hook up one power wire on one of the channels or you double the voltage going into the receiver blowing it... u know?
Building tank with elrs pwm receiver.
Yes i have and the controller was fine. 24v alternators are not cheap lol but should work fine
Any one have pyserial code to control motors in simple serial mode. Thank you.
This was extremely educational 😄😄😄😄😄😄🤔🤔🤔🤔😊😊😊😊
I want 2×12 plz provide link
Hello, may you please tell me how the receiver is connected to motor controller?
Thanks
what if I'm trying to run 4 motors ( 4 drive wheels )??
+arlingtontrains7 Yes you can use four motors. Two channels. Each driving one side of bot.
thanks
Tradurre in italiano così capisco ? Grazie
to get the bare leads do you just cut one of the ends? And what is the tool called that you use to put them into the sabertooths? (the one with the blue handel).
The "blue handel" Tool comes through a defense contractor. Stanley/Avionics. The tool is sold to the Pentagon for $138.49.
Has anyone setup a hybrid system, with a gas engine powering a 24vdc alternator to charge the two 12vdc batteries and then to the controller and then to the electric motors?
Your describing a Locomotive. Substitute diesel for gas. So, this "new tech," is 60 years old, at least.
Thanks
the amperage depends on the amperage of the motor I'm quite sure
Sure but I think that's the peak of the esc itself
Ok both red together. This guy tried to tell me only connect one power wire or you'll send 10v. I'm telling that's not how voltage works. It's the same 5v power just split. And even if 2 5v power supply still it just more amp in parallel it's not in series
Good video. Your talking to low and to fast for people especially beginners to follow you
All these questions. Do you all know you can read the documents provided by sabertooth to program it? I guess if your english reading skills suck, maybe try harder. If the internet was suddenly non existent, what would 30,000,000 spoiled, lazy people do?
I am ecstatic that he doesn't reply much to the: questions, questions, questions.
capable controller but extremely unreliable. they do not last at all. very flimsy design.can't even take RC lawnmower movements. slightest bump will shorten the caps.
