Wiring Electronize speed controler

i am not sure ho to wire my Electronize speed controler up to me motors, could some one help me?.

I have wired it up once but it only goes forward and back.

I think theyre supposed to go forwards and back, if youre using Electronizes youll need one for each side of the drive for steering...

Could be misinterpreting your problem though.

i have 2 Electronizes one for each motor but i dont know how to wire them all up Correctly.

You could PM Geoff, Woody, or Jonno if you need an immediate answer. :)

If you can give a model number it would be good as there are a few different types (internal/external relays etc.)

I am using 2 Electronize FR15HVR Microprocessor speed control.

right wire the blue wire from one of the elctronize to the postive on one motor and then yellow to negative

do this for the other motor

you then need a mixer unless you are using a spektrum, i think this will solve the problem

link for a mixer i happen to have a used one if you need it

if you already have one either switched on on the spectrum or one like above then im not sure

hope it helps, alex

forgot to say you will need to plug the reciver wires into the reciver and put power to the circuit

what motors are you using?

Would i need a
RC speed control Microprocessor 15A

and a
RC speed control Microprocessor 15A Vreg

what is the Difference in the 2

Would 2 RC speed control Microprocessor 15A Vreg work?

I have the batterys, reciver and two drill motors,I am just confused about the speed controllers

Youll need one of each...the Vreg model comes with a battery eliminator circuit which means you can power the reciever/servos off the controller as opposed to using a separate battery.

Two non Vreg ones will work as long as you use a separate battery...two Vreg ones will possibly blow up your reciever. Or so Im told :P

Two Vreg ones will work fine as long as you keep the two wires that form the BEC connection (two small orange and red wires) separated on one speed controller and together on the other

Michael...Could you give the R/C Transmitter and reciever type model.

Your 2 Electronize FR15HVR Microprocessor speed controllers are fine ...you dont however require or want BOTH Battery Eliminator Circuits ( BECs ) just do as Jamie said join one pair of orange and red wires on one controller but not the other.

Some sort of mixing will be required if your going to use a single stick on your transmitter to control the bot....some transmitters can do this ...some cant....hence the need to know what you currently have.

I have a Futaba Skysport 4 FP4YFN transmitter and a Futaba FM40MHz Micro Rx 4 Ch receiver

Would i need some sort of mixer like Alexander said?

If you want fwd/back left/right on one stick and it to make sense yes you will need a V-tail mixer. Any model shop should sell them, or Technobots if in doubt.

.. make sure its a gws one or one thats marked with a 1:1 ratio.. or you could end up loosing upto 40% of the top speed of your robot.

i made that mistake with the V tail. :p

Thank you all for you help. ppl here are very helpful and friendly.

Only for the first couple of questions - then we turn nasty and devour you for dinner :mrgreen:

Of course you dont need a v tail or any other mixer. You can just run one speed controller from each stick and have two stick (tank) steering. If this is your first robot I suggest you do it that way, at least until you have it all running - one less complication.

I used to drive like that but once I switched to one stick I found it much easier. I would never switch bak now.
