Re: Vex Motors With RoboRio

Max voltage for the Vex 29 is 8.5 volts. Powering it from the 12 V PDB would be bad. A 5 volt source would leave it a little under powered, but should work. That is what the Crio side car powered it with. The available current on the roborio PWM pins is low, but should work for a lightly loaded motor. Any of the PWM motor controller code should work.
