Re: VEX motors on a FRC robot
I'm no expert, but to me it seems you would plug it in a PWM port on the Digital Sidecar and control it the same way you would a Victor.
This is assuming it is a 3-wire Vex motor.
One thing to note though is how much current can the digital sidecar source on the PWM power pins? The Vex motor is capable of pulling probably a couple Amps. You might want to do a little wiring and give it power directly from the fuse panel, and only take its signal line to the sidecar.
