Hello everyone.!
I hacked together the above mentioned robot from two wheelchairs to help me around the farm, and I am controlling it with RC to a Sabertooth 2X60. It works well and is a strong capable machine.
My 89 yo Dad is unable to walk, and misses getting outside to take care of his gardens and flower beds. I am modifying the above machine to carry him and allow him to control it with a joystick. I would like very much to be able to use the DEscibe software to program the Sabertooth 2X60. The documentaion on the 2X60 mentions programming it with a usb adapter. Could someone please suggest a compatible USB adapter and how to mate it to the 2X60?
Thank you!
