I can now say it “really is this simple to build a robot.” My first phase is complete and I took the converted wheelchair for a spin in the street yesterday. It is super. Many thanks to SuperDroid for the help! More to come.

Two more questions…

I received my Sabertooth and Spectrum DX5 but already I am a bit confused on hooking up the Hitec Male Plug to the receiver.

1) I cannot figure out the direction to place the plug. Looking at the receiver with AR610 facing me should the plug be from top to bottom as Orange, Red, Brown? Looking at the Sabertooth documentation, the picture on page 19 (a different receiver) shows the connections to be top to bottom as Brown, Red, Orange.
2) It also looks like I need at least two of the Hitec Male Plug in connectors (one hooked to elevator and the other to alerion. Should I also buy enough of these connectors for each channel on the receiver? I do plan on other functions for the robot down the road.

The attached photo shows how my one connector is hooked up.

Please advise before I connect to the Sabertooth.

Again many thanks.

Part Two of this project (once I get RC control) working would be;

1) Wi-Fi connectivity
2) Video transmission from robot to computer
3) Program control via computer

So while I am buying parts should I get the Kangaroo? I don’t really understand yet what that does.

Thanks for helping!
