Port Configuration
Each joint has a Potentiometer and Motor that will need to be plugged into the proper port for the arm mounted on the VEX V5 Workcell to work as intended.
Each joint has a specific port assigned to it. The Potentiometers will go into the lettered, 3-Wire Ports and the Motors will go into the numbered, smart ports.
