This is part 2 of my rover build series on the Prowler Rover by Servo City. In this I give basic kit overview, build and test with RC. I also give a detailed overview of the Dimension Engineering Sabertooth 2x32 Motor Driver.

Many thanks for the rover project!My students will be working on nearly the exact project (including the pixhawk) and I will direct them to your site for the clear and informative tutorial videos.Thanks again.

That looks incredibly fun! I'm a big fan of the Sabertooth 2x32 controller. It's a bit pricey but it always works.

Nice job of explaining the controller, I needed that

Very excited for this series! I'm planning a project of my own and was trying to avoid a seperate battery to power my pixhawk. Could you possibly go more in depth about how I should go about that? I do believe it requires a 12v and you touched on the topic briefly in the video. Could I assing the power output to 12v and plug the pixhawk in that way? Thank you for the series!

Wow you are the man

Suggestion for you, you may notice the unit rolling down hills when the controls are released and a bit of spinning going up very steep slopes and low speed. The fix = put a kangaroo on the sabertooth. You can also use esc/brushless motors with the kangaroo.

When do you plan on putting the Cube mini, and ardupilot on this. When you do it would be great if you could film the setup process. Thanks

Sorry I am bit new to that but also want to use 4 motors and steer by one side going faster. How do you connect one side two motors to one channel on the controller? Did you just twist together two negative wires and two positive wires from one side and plugged them into one channel on Sabertooth? And a bit of more questions What motors did you use? I guess low RPM will give more torque & load capacity, is it right? do you know any source where I can get pneumatic 5-7 inch tyres for this project?

Having trouble figuring out My reciver wires going to Sabertookh. Trying to get a tank set up. . Want to use my Elevator channel to controll Tank. To faward /Rev and the aileron channel for differential controller. My best guess is signal wire From rec goes to sw1, channel 2 signal wire goes to Sw2 mybe u could do a video

Hi - I bought a Sabretooth 2 x 32 many years ago and never finished the project. I'd like to use it again and came across your video. Is the Sabretooth still supported? Can you still get the setup software for a Mac or PC or Linux (like a Raspberry Pi)? It cost me a fair few quid when I bought it and would like to use it. Great video by the way 🙂

why is it direct drive with no gears? won't it have any torque?

Hi, thanks for important info. So you have ganged up 2 motors per channel. Can I do that with 4 brushless motors with hall sensors. To be clear can I gang the 5 sensor wire per motor in the same way you did with the motor wires? Thanks.

@MadRC 3 жыл бұрын

No for brushless motors you need a 4 channel controller
