Supported Software and Additional Resources
The DC motor expansion controller is designed with flexibility in mind and can interface with any master controller with
an i2C communications bus. Pitsco Education provides software support materials and other resources that enable the DC
motor controller to interface with the PRIZM controller, the LEGO MINDSTORMS® EV3 Brick, and the National Instruments
myRIO.
The DC motor controller can interface with other devices such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino, but software support is not
provided.
EV3 programming blocks for the DC motor expansion controller are available for free download at
Pitsco.com/TETRIX-MAX-DC-Motor-Expansion-Controller#downloads.
Support for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3
While the DC motor expansion controller has been
designed to work primarily with the TETRIX PRIZM
Robotics Controller, it can also be connected directly
to the LEGO EV3 Brick for programming and control of
TETRIX DC gearhead motors.
You will need a TETRIX MAX 12-volt rechargeable battery
and power switch kit to supply power to the controller.
The daisy chain data cable that comes with the DC motor
expansion controller will connect to the EV3 sensor ports.
