Motor Controller 29

276-2193

The VEX Motor Controller 29 uses a standard PWM signal (like that originating from the 3-wire ports on VEX Microcontrollers) to drive a VEX 2-Wire Motor.

Note: We recommend using no more more than one (1) 3-Wire extension cable in between the Motor Controller 29 and a VEX Microcontroller. For longer extensions, use 2-Wire extension cables in between the Motor Controller 29 and a VEX 2-Wire motor.

Motor Controller Module

The Motor Controller 29 regulates the speed of a VEX motor

based on a signal it receives from a VEX Microcontroller. This

allows for control of any VEX motor that doesn’t have a built-

in motor controller, such as the VEX 2-wire motors.

Notes:

• Each VEX Motor Controller Module can drive one 2-wire motor

• Max motor stall current: 3 amps

• Max battery voltage: 8.5v (with fully charged 7.2v battery)

• Connect 2-wire socket to motor 2-wire plug

• Easy reverse, swap connection to motor plug
