Product Specifications

Motor1 Terminals
Motor 1 is connected to terminals M1A and
M1B as shown at right. If the motor runs in
the opposite way that you want, you may
reverse the motor wires to reverse rotation.
Motor 2 is connected to terminals M2A and
M2B
Signal Input Terminals
S1 and S2
The input signals that control the Sabertooth
are connected to terminals S1 and S2. If you
are running in analog mode, it is important to
have both the signal inputs connected before
applying power to the device. Otherwise, the
motors may start unexpectedly.
Battery Terminals
B+ and B-
The battery or power supply is connected to
terminals B- and B+. B- connects to the
negative side of the battery (usually black.)
B+ connects to the positive side of the battery
(usually red or yellow.) It is usually best to
connect the battery through a connector
instead of directly to the motor driver. This
makes it easy to unplug the battery for charging, and prevents plugging in the battery backwards.
Warning! Be very careful to wire and plug in the battery and
connector correctly. Connecting the battery backwards will destroy
the Sabertooth and will void the warranty.
The motors connect to terminals M1A/B and
M2A/B
The input signals connect to terminal S1 and/or S2
The battery connects to terminals B+ and B-
