 Throw the programmers (or freshmen with duct tape depending on the state of your robot) in the trailer with the robot for the ride between events. Problem solved. :D - ASD20 [more] |

Re: Vex Motors With RoboRio
The vex 29 motor controllers should work if you plug them into the roboRIO just like a talon or what ever, they all send the same signal, if it doesn't work, its probably because the power bus the RIO is sending it is to low of current/voltage. All of the PWM motor controllers use the same signal.
I found this image on google, this is how you should wire it. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xzhvsr9ip2...0/modified.png make the new Vin and Gnd wire going to the Power distro board Last edited by teslalab2 : 20-09-2016 at 20:22.

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.
