Description

The Sabertooth 2x5A Motor Driver is ideal for differential motor control of robots, tanks, cars and boats. It is suitable for weights of 10 kg (1.5 kg for combat robots). The two motors can be operated by means of an analog voltage, an RC signal or a serial signal.

The Sabertooth 2x5A has independent modes for speed and direction, making differential control easier. During each slowdown or change of direction of rotation of the motor, the Sabertooth motor driver  recharges the battery, allowing a greater autonomy of the robot. It allows sudden changes of direction and quick stops. A 5 VDC output is available to power a microcontroller or RC receiver.

Power supply: 6 to 18 VDC (NiCd, NiMh, Lithium, lead acid battery)

This card can not be powered by AC power.

Output current: 2 x 5 A continuous (2 x 10 A peak)

Control signal:

– Analog voltage 0 to 5 Vdc

– Radio signal RC

– Serial connection

Status indication via LEDs

Thermal and overload protection.
