Hi!
I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.
I have a electric wheelchair chassis that I would like to control wirelessly. I have a RC transmitter and receiver along with a 60 amp Sabertooth dual motor driver. Is it possible to control this setup with the PS2 transmitter and receiver? I like the small size of the transmitter.
Thanks
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Hello @JPete and welcome to the forum
the PS2 sure has a shorter range than a RC transmitter.
And it only transmits onoff or analog signals (no servo signals)
The Sabertooth works with analog input too (S1 input for motor1 only?)
You’d have to check the full manual to figure out how to set the dip switches for S1& S2 analog control.
After thinking more about it, the analog signals from the transmitter will get AD-converted before transmitting. The PS2 Receiver might or might not be able to DA-convert them, I don’t know!
Meaning, you might also need a microcontroller ( eg. arduino nano) to translate PS2 signals for the Sabertooth.
