Re: PWM fried from servo

I want to make sure we're all clear on exactly what you did and how you wired things. Here's my interpretation:

1. You connected the Futaba R/C controller to the S1 and S2 terminals on the Sabertooth.
2. You connected 2 wires from the tetrix motor to Motor 1 or 2 on the Sabertooth.
3. You cut the PWM connector off a servo and connected the black and red wires to Motor 1 or 2 on the Sabertooth.

Then you powered everything on, and I'm guessing the wires from the servo to the sabertooth melted and the servo went up in smoke, yes?
