Good afternoon. How to connect sabertooth 12a to pixhawk 2.4.8 control using gps in the mission planner program so as not to connect the remote control?
Pixhawk 2.4.8 isn’t supported by current Ardupilot versions, so you’ll need to find old versions of both Ardupilot and Mission Planner.
Scratch that, it is supported. The below still applies.
Then you set up your rover as documented here. Sabertooth 12a is your ESC.
@Oli1, typically “Pixhawk 2.4.8” refers to a cheap clone of a discontinued, somewhat old product that used an F4-series STM32. It is still supported, usually by the “Pixhawk 1” target.
See: Pixhawk Overview — Rover documentation (ardupilot.org)
While I wouldn’t recommend using such a board, it can indeed run the latest versions of ArduPilot and be configured to control a Rover that uses a Sabretooth driver, per the documentation.

Oh, I stand corrected. Always assumed they were 8bit
What many of them really have in common today with the older APM-style hardware is that they are sold as “genuine” at insane markups. It’s a shame…
