Configuring a 2-Motor Drivetrain (No Gyro) in VEXcode IQ (1st gen)

To configure a Drivetrain, select the Devices button to open the Devices window.

Select the generation that you are working with.

Select “Add a device.”

Select 'Drivetrain 2-Motors".

Select which port the Left Motor and Right Motor is attached to on the VEX IQ Brain. Ports that are already configured for other devices will be unavailable.

Turn the Gyro off by un-checking the Gyro box.

Once the Drivetrain has been configured, select “Done” to submit the device to the configuration or “Cancel” to return back to the Devices menu.

Note: Selecting 'Cancel' will undo any changes you have made to the device and will not be a part of the configuration.

You can change the port number for the Left Motor or Right Motor in the Drivetrain by selecting the device’s plug icon in the top right corner of the Options screen.

Select a different port on the Port Selection screen and the port number will turn green. Then select Done to submit the change.

You can change the wheel size for the Drivetrain by selecting the drop-down menu under “Wheel Size.”

You can change the size of the track width for the Drivetrain by entering the values in the number box and by selecting the drop-down menu under “Track Width.” The track width is the measurement between the middle of the front left wheel to the middle of the front right wheel.

You can change the wheelbase for the Drivetrain by entering the values in the number box and by selecting the drop-down menu under “Wheelbase.” The wheelbase is the measurement between the middle of the front wheel to the middle of the back wheel on each side.

You can change the gear ratio for the Drivetrain by entering values in the “Input” and “Output” boxes.

The Options screen also allows the direction of the Drivetrain to be reversed.

A Drivetrain can be deleted by selecting the 'Delete' option at the bottom of the screen.
