Motor Controller

[RoarRoar]

Hello

This HB-25 Motor Controller from http://parallax.com will work on FRC Robot Controller. but I wonder do I need to write code? or how do this work on FRC Robot Controller?

I need only a small Motor Controller max 5A. I will control 4 electric motor.sow I need 4 HB-25 Motor Controller. The HB-25 Motor Controller is inexpensive.if I buy 4 Victor 884 Speed Controller will this cost me 560 dollar. the 4 HB-25 Motor Controller cost only 50 Dollar for one (200 dollar)

I need only a Motor Controller that work on a FRC Robot Controller,not a Victor 884 or 883 Speed Controller it is expensive for me, and i dont need sow many A

this project is not to a robot,but to a submarine (rov)

It should work on the FRC controller the same as a Victor 884. You should be able to use any of the same code that would work with the Victor. For a ROV, you are going to have to write code, the default code from IFI for a robot is probably not going to do what you want.

It looks like a nice motor controller, I may have to invest in a couple to play with.

Good Luck.

ok thanks!

Then I will order 4 HB-25 Motor Controller from http://parallax.com. and see how this will work.

I have search on Internet, but I can find anything, only with USB?

Here, try this site. They supply the joysticks that the FIRST Robotics teams get in their kit of parts. Go straight to the bottom of the page; it's the one labeled "Analog".

Teams often modify them to suit their needs.

For joysticks, also it is possible to use a "USB Chicklet" to make a USB joystick work OK. Search this forum for more information. IFI sells them.
