Standard Serial Wiring Example
In standard serial mode the RoboClaw can only receive serial data. The below wiring diagram
illustrates a basic setup of RoboClaw for use with standard serial. The diagram below shows
the main battery as the only power source. Make sure the LB jumper is set correctly. The 5VDC
shown connected is only required if your MCU needs a power source. This is the BEC feature of
RoboClaw. If the MCU has its own power source do not the 5VDC.
