Dimension Engineering Kagaroo / Sabertooth Plugin

Postby telfel » Fri 26. Apr 2013, 18:53

Hi Sir

Would you please consider creating a plugin for the new Kangaroo x2 and Sabertooth Driver using packeritised serial interface,

attachment of manual etc in this thread

http://www.x-sim.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=867#p7441

I have 24 volt 27 amp run, 590 watt motor wormgear units, I intend to build a 2 dof to start, then I hope to build a 6 dof, using the 2 x 60 sabertooth.

Have tried the cheap china drivers and fried a few in testing

The kangaroo x2 plus sabertooth 2 x 25 could offer a 24 volt alternative to the JRK, Dimesion Eng have dealers across most of the world, or their international shipping from the US is cheap. So may suit the X-Sim community.


thanks Terry
