Securing the Encoder Adapters
We're Updating our Documentation! For the most up-to-date information about the SPARK MAX and other ION Motor Controllers please check out the following new documentation pages:
The Encoder Adapters and SPARK MAX Data Port Breakout Boards can be secured to a SPARK MAX in two ways.
SPARK MAX Mounting Bracket (REV-45-2468)
| Description | Image |
|---|---|
1) To use a SPARK MAX Mounting Bracket to secure your Encoder Adapter or Breakout Board you will need to remove the middle tab of plastic | |
2) Cut this piece of plastic with a pair of snips, or remove it by twisting the plastic until it breaks | |
3) Once the middle piece of plastic has been removed, remove any sharp edges with a file or some sandpaper | |
4) The SPARK MAX Mounting Bracket will fit over the board as shown in this image. Attach the mounting bracket to your surface as you normally would after this step |
Zip-tie Notches
A zip-tie can be secured around the SPARK MAX's zip-tie notches and over the board to securely attach it to the motor controller as well.
