Re: Programming a 6 Motor Drivetrain

For a tank drive setup, the cRIO only needs to output 2 different speeds to the motors (one for each side.) While you do need one motor controller per motor on the robot, you can use PWM Y-cables so that all three motor controllers on a side get the same signal from the cRIO. Then you can just use a 2-motor setup in the code.
