    I’m assuming I would have to map OVERRIDE_PIN A15 (& the corresponding RX pin) TO THE “FLAPS/GYRO” switch?

    Yes.. It drives in both modes..

    Pin codes:

    // Hardware Pin Definitions
    // ****************************************************
    #define RC_SIGNAL_PIN A14
    #define RC_OVERRIDE_PIN A15
    #define RC_DRIVE_PIN A12
    #define RC_TURN_PIN A13

    #define PAN_SERVO_PIN 6 // Camera Servo Connections
    #define TILT_SERVO_PIN 7

    What are the advantages of using the 5v Arduino Pin to connect power from the Sabertooths over the VIN pin… It seems that Arduino does not recommend this 5V connection method…

    Awesome.. I figured as much. I have a 9v and 12v adapter to power my other peripherals. The Arduino code is pretty simple.. I wish that it included code for the encoders. Having each wheel turn EXACTLY in sync would be great. It’s not autonomy, but would provide a nice level of accuracy and avoid drift and turn when strafing or crabbing (using this platform for video).

    I am looking at the git hub code arduino sketch… I have already uploaded the Arduino sketch, and I was cross referencing it with the loose instructions. There are some inconsistencies so I wanted to clarify.

    I am using an Arduino UNO. The schematic has both sabertooths wired into the Arduino. I’m assuming that only is necessary? Also, the kit came with a 24 to 12 V regulator that I assumed it was for powering the Arduino. It doesn’t look like it needs to be used in this case if we are taking power off of the sabertooths and 5v arduino pin for the receiver.

    This is a great clarification. However, If we wanted to attach two 12v linear actuators to a single controller, would that be possible. We would like these two actuators to act as one and move in unison without controlling each seperately.

    Thanks for your help Jason. You are the best.

    To be more specific, only downloading the suggested SlimDX Runtime is not enough to get the proper files needed for WiFi ATR to work. The SlimDX SDK needs to be installed to get the proper dependencies in order.

    SlimDX can be found here: http://slimdx.org/download.php
