I am new at this. I am just about finished building a 300 lb yard bot. It has 2 Invacare motors , 1 on each side driving 2 golf cart tires thru sprockets and chains. It will turn like a skid steer. I am looking at the Sabertooth 2x60 Motor Controller and will be using 2 automo…

[IMG_0147.JPG] OK, I hooked up the receiver to the Sabertooth 5 volt terminals. The signal wire is on the S1 terminal.Turned on the transmitter , then the Sabertooth/ receiver. I got Steady green light on the receiver, but nothing works. I have the Sabertooth Dip Switches i…

If you are aiming at controlling two motor in Skid-Steer mode you will have to connect 2 channels to the Receiver like on P.13 of the manual. (S1 & S2) To test the Receiver you can either connect you Sabertooth to the PC software or try a RC servo on one channel and test the mov…

I had previously had a second pigtail hooked up to another channel, but did not hook up the 5 volt + and -. Just did that and still nothing on the RC side. I can run the motors in both directions with the dip switches. I don’t have any servos to confirm the communication betw…

You might want to use the PC software to confirm the R/C signal and even calibrate it via that software. DimensionEngineering DEScribe Download DimensionEngineering DEScribe Manual

Not what I had in mind. And I don’t have Windows

[IMG_0148.jpg] This is my schematic [not showing 100 amp inline fuse between Bat + term.and Sabertooth Bat+ term.] Confident on my hard wiring as I can operate both motors in either direction by moving the Dip switches. My questions now are #1 Is the T6EHP-E communicati…

In your case, you need to connect on CH1 and CH2 of your receiver. (Aileron / Elevator) You can’t check if the Receiver is connected without a R/C servo or device that can give you the information. The easier for you will be to use a Windows computer and connect your Sabertooth …

We are spinning in circles here. I previously hooked up the receiver to channels 1 and 2. I have never been able to get the receiver light to blink when pressing in on the switch inside . Its alway on constant when powered. When a receiver gets binded to a transmitter , is it a …

The R7EH-S is the updated version of receiver and the user manual might not be updated yet, that’s why. The only difference is that this version can output 7 channels instead of only 6. About which channels to connect your Sabertooth onto the receiver is really up to you but if …

Please, post pictures of the complete wiring.
The channel, if you need skid steer, need to be Aileron and Pitch which are related to the right joystick.
