Re: FTC Motor Controller Help Needed
It is common practice for FTC teams to control two motors per channel on the motor controller [four motors per controller in total]. Be very careful to check the wire connections into the motor controller, it is a tight fit to connect two wires in the terminal block.

Re: FTC Motor Controller Help Needed
It is legal to double up to four motors per controller. I can't confirm this but I heard doing so 1)won't have a effect on battery life but 2)splits the voltage for each motor so that each motor runs twice as fast.
I do know that two motors connected to one channel will be recognized as just one motor in RobotC. |

Re: FTC Motor Controller Help Needed
Kyle,
The answer is yes. From the Tetrix website... The HiTechnic DC Motor Controller for TETRIX® connects to an NXT Intelligent Brick sensor port and will enable you to control powerful DC gear motors for use with TETRIX robots. The controller has two H-bridge outputs to control the speed and direction of two DC gear motors and is designed to connect to the TETRIX hole pattern. A four-motor robot can also be built by paralleling two motors to one channel. I hope this helps. |
