Sabertooth Dual 25A Motor Driver User's Guide
Hooking up the Sabertooth motor driver
All connections to the Sabertooth are done with screw terminals. This makes it easy to set up and
reconfigure your project. If you’ve never used screw terminal connections before, here is a quick
overview.
Step 1: Strip the wire which you are using
approximately ¼”. The wires may be 12 gauge
to 30 gauge. Use thicker wire for high current
applications.
Step 2: With a large screwdriver, turn the top
screw counter-clockwise until it stops gently.
Step 3: Insert the stripped portion of the wire
into the opening in the screw terminal.
Step 4: Turn the top screw clockwise until
you encounter resistance, then tighten the
screw firmly. Pull on the wire gently to ensure
that it is secured.
