**Check that motor specifications do not exceed the maximum electrical specification of the SPARK MAX. Other platforms are not currently supported.

*CAN and USB control is supported for the FRC roboRIO and REV Hardware Client. A brushless motor is constructed with a per-manent magnet rotor and wire wound stator poles. Realistic prototyping using the actual control parameters Anatomy of a BLDC Figure 1 is a simplified illustration of BLDC motor con-struction.This topic shows how to drive a BLDC motor using Arduino where the speed is controlled with a potentiometer. Brushed and sensored-brushless motor control This controller is called an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).Firmware UpdateĪll SPARK MAX Motor Controllers purchased on or after ship with version 1.4.0 firmware. Please see the SPARK MAX Software Resources for the latest firmware and update instructions. SPARK MAX Motor Controllers purchased after ship with the V2 versions of the SPARK MAX CAN Cable V2 (REV-11-1880). SPARK MAX is a true all-in-one controller that will push the envelope for teams. Users can test prototypes and tune parameters without needing the full control system. Building on the robust foundation of the original, SPARK MAX incorporates advanced brushed and brushless DC motor control in a small and easy-to-use package with PWM, CAN, and USB connectivity. Never before has an FRC motor controller featured a built-in USB interface for configuration and control. SPARK MAX is the newest member of the SPARK Motor Controller family.
