Use a Motor With the Brain

Using a Motor with the Brain allows you to program the Motor using VEXcode GO.

Connect a Motor to the Brain by inserting the Motor Cable into one of the four Smart Ports on the Brain.

Ensure that the Motor Cable is fully inserted into the Smart Port on the Brain. A ‘click’ sound will ensure that the cable is seated fully into the Smart Port.
