Description

The DC Motor block represents a DC motor connected to a specified 3-wire port on an VEX^® EDR V5 Robot Brain. The input signal sets the speed of the motor. There are eight 3-wire ports on the VEX EDR V5 Robot Brain that you can connect to DC motors.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Input analog signal that sets motor speed

integer in [ –128 127]

The block input value can range from –128 to 127. The sign determines the direction of rotation of the motor, and the amplitude determines the speed. A block input value of 0 stops the motor.

Data Types: double

Parameters

3-Wire Expander (smart port) — Select the smart port that is used by 3-Wire Expander

None (default) | 1 to 21

If you are using a 3-Wire Expander, specify the smart port on VEX EDR V5 Robot Brain to which the expander is connected.

Port — Select the 3-wire port connected to the DC motor

A (default) | A to H

Select the 3-wire port on the VEX EDR V5 Robot Brain that is connected to the DC motor.

Do not assign the same port number to more than one DC Motor block within the same model.
