First of all, as the title of this post states I am a complete newb so please bare with me. : ) I am trying to hook up my ssc-32 to a sabertooth 25a motor controller which I am sure is an easy task but I have zero electronics experience and trying to get started without frying my new toys. : )
So from what I can tell it should look like “image 5†in the stickied post “SSC-32 Powering Option†lynxmotion.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2401 . The thing that has me confused is it shows connecting the ssc-32 to the motor controller using a 3 pin cable but the sabertooth has only a ground, S1, and S2 terminals. I bought some of these small jumper wires trossenrobotics.com/sparkfun-jumper-wires-premium-f-f.aspx but I am still too uncertain to attempt without some guidance.
From what I can gather I need to hook the #14 and #15 channel on ssc-32 to the S1 and S2 connections on the Sabertooth 25a and I guess both grounds from those channels to the ground on the sabertooth? I am sorry for my utter newbness but I have read the manuals and searched the forum. I found lots of information on using sabertooth motor controllers with the ssc-32 but my question is probably so simple no one has bothered to ask yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
