SPARK Flex Overview

The SPARK Flex (REV-11-2159) is a new smart motor controller from REV Robotics. Its dockable form factor allows for direct mounting onto a NEO Vortex (REV-21-1652), simplifying wiring while maintaining flexibility. Improving upon the foundation of the SPARK MAX, new features include 3-phase current sensing, reverse polarity protection, and an expanded Data Port with additional interfaces. When docked to an adapter, the SPARK Flex can control any existing NEO or compatible brushless/brushed DC motor.

Feature Highlights:

  • Docking interface for motor phases and sensors

  • USB type C configuration and control

  • PWM and CAN communication

  • Fully integrated power and control wires

  • Enhanced data port with more power, latching connector, and additional serial interfaces

  • Advanced motor control modes include:

    • Velocity

    • Position

    • Current

    • New modes with future firmware updates

  • #10-32 threaded holes on a 2in bolt circle

  • Motor and motor controller's silhouette fits behind a standard 2in rectangular tube
