Drive Control Default Setup
The various motor groups that can be controlled in the Drive program
Drive Control Functions
By default, the V5 Controller can control up to ten motors on six different groups configured for a skid steer drive. Motors connected to Smart Ports 1 and 9 are associated with left drive, 2 and 10 with right drive. These V5 Smart Motor groups are controlled by tilting the left or right joysticks, respectively. The remaining six motors are individually controlled by the four button groups on the controllers.
