Remember that you don't need to solder the red wire at all as it is not connected to anything in your motor controller anyway.



All that being said, are you using so many motors that your roboRIO has no free ports? As an alternative, you could wire each motor controller individually to the RIO (and if you run out of ports you could use the extra ones broken out from the MXP connector.
I want more of your 2-wire jumpers!!!! They are very nice quality.

You please to make nice special price for me on world wide web? (I looked and could not find them on the REV site, are they available to purchase?)
