The Original SPARK Motor Controller has been discontinued and will not be re-stocked.
The SPARK Motor Controller (REV-11-1200) was a 12V 60A PWM-controlled brushed DC motor controller designed for FIRST Robotics Competition robots. It featured 60A continuous current with passive cooling, bi-directional limit switch inputs for smart mechanism control, an RGB LED status indicator, and a button-activated brake/coast mode.
