https://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/Sabertooth2x32.pdf. If i am not wrong, the wiring of kangaroo is correct. (1)The situation is :

  1. 12V power supply connected to the B+ B-
  2. Motor 1 connected to M1A M1B
  3. The potential meter provides analog feedback, which is connected to the pin A B 5V respectively in kangaroo x2.
  4. The DIP setting of sabertooth 2x32 is on off on on off on from 1 to 6 .
  5. The DIP setting of kangaroo x2 is on on off on from 4 to 1. 6.The s1 of kangaroo connected to A2. The s2 of kangaroo connected to A1. 7.Had the USB Micro B cable to the USB port on the Sabertooth 2x32. (2)After using voltage clamp to test it, it still cannot detect the kangaroox2. (3)The funny thing is there is a moment that the DEscribe is able to detect the kangaroox2 and sabertooth at the same time and it just last for a short while. And the DEscribe is not able to find kangaroox2 anymore. Hope can get help from you guys as the reply from dimension engineering didn't work.

Hi, did you solve your problem? My problem is very similar excepting that I use an optical encoder. Joe

Joe,

You should interact with Demension Engineering to solve your problem. That's what I did for my robot https://youtu.be/vrCTja7mDZI. They were very helpful.

Thanks, Tim
