Re: How do you wire a VEX motor to a 12 V battery?

Normal operation would be to connect the 2-wire motor to the Vex controller.
The Vex controller connects to a PWM output on the Digital Sidecar.
A jumper by the PWM output feeds it 6v.

You command it in code just as you would a Victor speed controller.
