4 wheel drive.

Post by Hogi »

hi everyone, i am wondering, how do you wire up a 4 wheel drive antweight? i am asking, as i have an idea for a shufflebot mechanism but it will only work on four wheel drive.

Something like this:

Just wire another motor in parallel with the first two.

Dan, if you are using a Sabretooth like in Hogi you can just screw two motors into the same terminal block. If you have a smaller speed controller beware of overloading it, though Rory's little things can impressively take 4 motors

thanks guys. it sounds like the easiest way of doing it would be with a sabretooth. hopefully i'll get to try it out in the not to distant future.
