2 Pin VS. 3 Pin

Hey everyone,

I was looking at the motors and I noticed that we have a bunch of 2 pinned motors and we only have a few two to three pin converters is there anything that I’m missing and is there a way to do this without the converters or is this the only way to do it?

The cortex has two 2 pin slots(1 & 10) that you can plug the motor wires into withought the converter (called a motor controller btw) but you have to use a motor controller for the rest of the motor ports(2 - 9).

Here are a few articles I wrote about this very topic:

Hope you find some of them helpful.
