The outer pairs of wires are for each of the two foot motors. The center pair of wires is for the main power to the speed controller from my 12 volt batteries.
Channels 1 and 2 on the receiver are throttle and steering.
I only want the signal wire to attach to the speed controller. Grounds are common, and are internally sourced from the main battery. The 0v and 5v connections on the speed controller are outputs, not inputs. They can supply power to the receiver, but I already have a battery elimination circuit doing that job.
And now to my mistake. I should have paid more attention to those indentations at the bottom of the board, rather than just the marks. These show where the PVC rectangle mounting piece I cut yesterday really should have been located.
Okidoke, I need to recut and redrill the PVC rectangle. I can deal with that.
Ok, now things will fit when I slide this board into the droid. The screw locations won't run into the center leg now.
Hmm... the wiring doesn't seem much neater.
