    Hi Che,
    you can find an example of the encoder buffer wiring here.
    Encoder Buffer Wiring Diagram

    As far as wiring the RC receiver to the Arduino, you want to take the signal wire from the receiver and plug it into a PWM input of the Arduino. You will have to do this for all of the channels that you need.

    That is not a scooter we supply, so we do not know what motors they use. This forum is for support of our products on http://www.superdroidrobots.com. Thank you for your interest.

    Hi Cesar,
    We don’t have any pre made code for that, but you should be able to accomplish what you need to do the Arduino. You will need an RS485 shield or RS485 Breakout Board between the camera and the arduino

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Need switch to control power and load circuits in robot in the forum Electrical & Controls 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    The switch should be able to handle a bit over the maximum current that you expect. Our 2 position toggle switch can handle 25A per pole. Often times we run the power wires to both the poles just to be safe.

    Hi John,
    I have attached a basic schematic for that setup. Please make sure that you are using the correct wire gauge for the project, and Also please verify that the positive and negative pins on the charger are in the right orientation when wiring the XLR charging plug. Verification can be done by plugging in the charger and CAREFULLY using a…[Read more]

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Need switch to control power and load circuits in robot in the forum Electrical & Controls 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi JohnGa,
    Let me see if I understand this correctly.

    –Switch up–
    Power form the battery to the sabertooth and any other components

    –Switch middle–
    Cut power to all components

    –Switch down–
    No power to any components, but will allow you to charge the batteries.

    Let me know if i am not correct.
    If you are trying to charge the…[Read more]

    SuperDroid replied to the topic How to make mecanum robot spin in the forum Electrical & Controls 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi Scott,
    If you are using the Sabertooth Arduino library, you should be able to just set the motor to spin by using the code below.

    Sabertooth ST1(128);
    Sabertooth ST2(129); // put these at the top of your code to specify each motor controller.

    ST1.motor(1,127); //address 128, motor 1 full power forward
    ST2.motor(1,127); //address 129,…[Read more]

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Electrical Schematic in the forum Electrical & Controls 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hello,
    The reason we use two 12 AWG wires and 2 40 amp breakers is to accommodate the current. 12 AWG wire has a limit of 41 A DC before it starts to fail. The limit for 10 AWG is 55A DC, meaning the wire would start to fail before the breakers trip.

    To answer your question, I would suggest not going with the single 10 AWG wire mainly because…[Read more]

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Direct mount axels vs. chain driven in the forum Mechanical Design 10 months, 4 weeks ago

    Dave,
    We prefer to use direct drive whenever possible. It is simpler, requires fewer parts so it’s less expensive, and there’s just not as much that can go wrong. Wheelchair motors can typically support quite a bit of weight so there’s usually no reason to support the shaft with another bearing unless the shaft is fairly long. We use these shafts…[Read more]

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Electrical schematic for 3 linear actuators in the forum Electrical & Controls 10 months, 4 weeks ago

    Hi Dave,
    The easiest way to control the linear actuators would probably be with another motor controller. I don’t have a schematic on hand for controlling linear actuators, but you can treat them the same as you would a motor. Some good motor controllers for the linear actuators (depending on the size of your controllers) is the Syren 10A motor…[Read more]

    Hi Dave, you could use either one of the 24V 4A chargers and charge in series or two 12V 10A chargers and charge each battery separately. We typically leave the charger off the robot and just put a connector on the robot but you could also mount it on-board if you’d like…[Read more]

    Here is a rough diagram for RC input to two motor controllers. I would hook up the front motors to one of the motor controllers, and the rear motors to the other motor controller.

    SuperDroid replied to the topic Controllers – 4 wheelchair jazzy motors in the forum Electrical & Controls 11 months, 1 week ago

    Hi Dave,
    We have a few different options for motor controllers, and it really just depends how you are controlling it, and what you want to do with the motor controller.
    The Sabertooth 2×60 motor controller is a good option if you want to control it with RC, or a simple serial connection.

    The Roboteq MDC2460 is another really good controller…[Read more]

    Unfortunately we do not, we usually don’t have many people that need the index. If you are good with soldering, you might be able to solder a small wire onto the leg of the LS7366R chip.

    You are correct, the buffer board does not interface with the index pin directly.
