Hey guys, I'm having an issue with this magical Sabertooth gobblygook. Sabertooth works great while connected directly an R/C Receiver when signals are not routed through the Arduino. Also, the Arduino can control the Sabertooth with no issues, while powered with the sabertooth 5V out, using servo…

I guess I thought they were fairly popular in the Arduino world. It's a dual 32 A motor driver circuit, currently powering two wheelchair motors on my lawnmower :stuck_out_tongue:

I actually have a sabertooth. It's a powerful motor driver, with an easy setup for r/c controls. They're used so you can drive big-boy motors, instead of those tiny little "servo" (futaba) plastic gear motors. Anyway. My Sabertooth will also run buck wild, from time to time. Drives the robot right …

(Sabertooth 2X32 + R/C Receiver != Sabertooth + Arduino = R/C Receiver) { Why!}

If you go to the Adafruit website and check out there blog, there is a writeup on building a remote controlled lawn mower. Might get some pointers to help you out.
