Hello RobotShop and community

I purchased a agent390 , radio equipment, and a sabertooth 2x12 driver.

I’ve connected wires for motors , battery , but I can’t figure out how to connect to recever.

I see s1 is the primary signal input but the instructions don’t explain how to connect it.

Your help is greatly appreciated

Hello @Shiplee123!

You can find out how to connect by looking at your motor drivers datasheet/user manual. Which sabertooth 2x12 are you using? If it’s the R/C version you can find the instructions here and here’s a wiring diagram:

Thankyou for your reply. Sorry for not completely understanding .
I have the sabertooth 2x12 pinout.

I’ve the motors connected, I know where the battery goes .

Its just the s1 , s2 , and I assume s0 to recever , are they single wires ? And to what pins on the recever does the 1 wire go to ?

Sorry I really don’t understand im new to this.

Just wanna get the tracked robot moving

Thanks

So I dont understand what the chanels or pins are on the recever

  1. Left right chanel
    2.forwards backwards chanel
    3.flip chanel.
    Do I choose a chanel on the recever and connect with the 3 pin connector wires ?

Don’t worry @Shiplee123

The receiver has 8 channels, for each channel there’s a signal, a VCC and a GND pin

You have to connect two different signal pins from the receiver (two different channels) to S1 and S2 and connect the two GND (last pins) to 0V and the to Vcc (middle pins) to 5V.
