AX2500/2850 Connections
The AX2500/2850 uses a set of power wires (located on the back of the unit) and a DB15
connector for all necessary connections. The diagram on the figure below shows a typical
wiring diagram of a mobile robot using the AX2500/2850 controller.
The wires are used for connection to the batteries and motors and will typically carry large
current loads. Details on the controller’s power wiring can be found at “Connecting Power
and Motors to the Controller” on page 25
The DB15 connector is used for all low-voltage, low-current connections to the Radio,
Microcontroller, sensors and accessories. This section covers only the connections to sen-
sors and actuators.
For information on how to connect the R/C radio or the RS232 port, see “R/C Operation”
on page 69 and “Serial (RS-232) Controls and Operation” on page 87.
