This is part 2 of my rover build series on the Prowler Rover by Servo City. In this I give basic kit overview, build and test with RC. I also give a detailed overview of the Dimension Engineering Sabertooth 2×32 Motor Driver.

Hi;
Can you draw the diagram of the motor connections?
That looks incredibly fun! I'm a big fan of the Sabertooth 2×32 controller. It's a bit pricey but it always works.
Having trouble figuring out
My reciver wires going to
Sabertookh. Trying to get a tank set up. . Want to use my
Elevator channel to controll
Tank. To faward /Rev and the aileron channel for differential controller.
My best guess is signal wire
From rec goes to sw1, channel 2 signal wire goes to
Sw2 mybe u could do a video
Nice job of explaining the controller, I needed that
Hi I've just about finished building one of these and wanting to control it with my Taranis also.
Do you have to do anything with the Taranis to get it to work or does the software from the Sabertooth handle everything?
Yours looks fantastic well done and just subbed. Oh my Sabertooth has no usb port so theres no software for it.
why is it direct drive with no gears? won't it have any torque?
Hi, thanks for important info. So you have ganged up 2 motors per channel. Can I do that with 4 brushless motors with hall sensors. To be clear can I gang the 5 sensor wire per motor in the same way you did with the motor wires? Thanks.
What type of battery did you use?
Hello , what about add a dslr camera and have live view ? what would you recommend?
Very excited for this series! I'm planning a project of my own and was trying to avoid a seperate battery to power my pixhawk. Could you possibly go more in depth about how I should go about that? I do believe it requires a 12v and you touched on the topic briefly in the video. Could I assing the power output to 12v and plug the pixhawk in that way? Thank you for the series!
Wow you are the man
When do you plan on putting the Cube mini, and ardupilot on this. When you do it would be great if you could film the setup process. Thanks
Excited for the update on this project! When do you think that will be?
How heavy was the build?
Many thanks for the rover project!My students will be working on nearly the exact project (including the pixhawk) and I will direct them to your site for the clear and informative tutorial videos.Thanks again.
Just the ticket
Love the extra set of helping hands! Thanks for the video – can't wait to build a rover.
