Re: Spike (relay) module pin out

well, you might be overcomplicating things, i mean, what exactly are you trying to test out, is the victor or spike working? the motor?

as for what i and my othre electrical people on the team have been doing is, use an old RC and OI to make a simple circut to a motor that we know works. then just hook up the spike or victor to it to see if it works or not.

as for a motor being tested, after nearly shorting out too many robot batteries (to the point where only the pit crew could handle them), we (well more specifically i did) but we made a motor tester. our team bought some 1/2" bosch drills from the company or someone, so we have something for the freshmen to build in the fall, and spares for the season. well, we took the trigger assembly out of 2 of the drills, soldered on new leads to the trigger, and now the leads go to alliagator clips( one of the 2 has male and female solderless connections too, so we spraypainted it gold, and now goes by the name of the "golden gun" or "golden child?" depending upon who you ask). so we just use that to easily test motors without having to worry about the 18 or so amps from a robot battery frying things...

hope this helped
