Connecting a Smart Motor

Items you will need:
• Robot Brain with Radio and Robot Battery installed
• VEX Controller with Radio and Controller Battery installed
• Smart Motor P/N: 228-2560
• Smart Cable P/N: 228-2780
Smart Motors are used to make your robotic creations come alive with motion.
The Smart Motors are connected to the Robot Brain using Smart Cables. These cables come
in assorted lengths between 200mm and 600mm long. All motors should only be connected
to the Robot Brain when the power is OFF. Smart Cables can only be plugged in one way and
they lock into place.
Connect a Smart Motor to port number 6 on the Robot Brain using a Smart Cable. Press
each side of the cable firmly into the socket on the Smart Motor and Robot Brain until you
hear the click of the lock snapping into place. Smart cables are removed from any device by
pressing down on the release tab, then gently pulling out.
• Turn ON the Robot Brain and Controller.
• Select the Driver Control Program and run it.
• Move the D axis of the right joystick up and down to move the motor forward and reverse.
Notice how the speed changes with the movement of the joystick.
