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…

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 …

Since I could never get the receiver light to blink, that means it was blinded at Radiolink. Once and done . Ok , 2 issues put to rest.

We do not follow you about this. You can bind the receiver many time, not only once. It’s a procedure that can be re-done anytime. Try to do the procedure again, you should be able to get the LED to blink by holding the receiver switch. Be sure to feel/hear the click when pushi…

Have pushed in fairly hard . I don’t want to break something.

How is it powered whey you hold the switch exactly ? This should work even if the Transmitter is not powered. If the Receiver is powered from a 5V source it should be Steady ON and once you hold the switch, blinking.

OK, my fault. Found the switch. Its just inside the cover, at the bottom of the opening . I was pushing on a foam vibration block about 3/4 inch inside. Anyway , I got it to blink and then bind with a constant on light. Still not commanding the Sabertooth. Yes, the Receiver lig…

So if you hold the switch 5s (8-10s if you want to be sure) while the Transmitter is ON and with the throttle (left joystick) to it’s lowest position. Once that is done, we can agree that the connection is made between the two.

Might I remind you again, another forum member had similar issues and when RobotShop switched out his Sabertooth 2x60 his problem was resolved. Just saying.
