Re: Motor Controllers

PJ,
The PWM outputs can drive the VEX motor or servos. The VEX motor came with (or should have come with) a three wire to two wire VEX motor speed controller. (the controller is available from VEX outlets) It is pretty powerful for small applications that might fit your needs. When using the PWM outputs for VEX and servo you need to add the jumper on the DSC to put +6 volts on the center wire of the PWM cable.

As a reminder to everyone, the Spike fuse can be changed to a breaker for the compressor only. All other uses of the Spike must use the 20 amp fuse or equivalent that came with the Spike.
