Motors still moving when the transmitter joystick is in the center

Help & Support Robot Parts

Hey guys,
I’m using Sabertooth 2x32 and I’ve connected to it an Rc receiver.
I can see that it works, motors go forward backward and left right, but the problem is that the motors still moving when the transmitter joystick is in the center (I use only the right joystick).
I tried to use the trim, but it’s only slow the motors down.
Any idea what it can be and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Arik.

Hi,

Welcome on the forum.

I believe that you will need to calibrate your controller.

What model are you using?

Hey,
Thank you! And sorry for my delayed answer.

The problem was between the receiver and the controller. The receiver was connected straight to the Sabertooth 5v output, and for some reason it made the receiver going crazy.
I disconnected it from the Sabertooth 5v and now I’m using battery pack instead (6v 4x1.5v) and it’s working perfect.
