Re: How to use an RGB LED strip with a Vex Spike?
We just did this with two spikes, also with a common +12 and separate 0V lines.
We wired the red, green, blue, and black (common) to the four outputs of two spikes, then set the values to high or low as needed. If you do this, you will need not only to use kForward (+ is positive, - is negative) and kReverse (- terminal is positive, + is negative), but also kOn (both positive) and kOff (both negative). I'll post a truth table for this in a few minutes...
