The Flex Dock transforms the SPARK Flex (REV-11-2159) into a standalone motor controller, supporting REV brushless motors and virtually any 12V brushed DC motor by providing standard phase wire outputs. The 6-pin JST PH encoder port is compatible with NEO/NEO550 hall sensors in brushless mode and standard quadrature encoders in brushed mode.
The dock securely mounts to a SPARK Flex using the same docking hardware as if you were mounting to a NEO Vortex. It features five #10-32 threaded mounting holes on a 0.5-inch grid, enabling versatile mounting on either face of the combined stack.
Additionally, the Flex Dock offers added protection against common faults caused by damaged motors or wiring. Compact and lightweight, it empowers you to adapt a SPARK Flex to meet your specific motor control requirements.
