A Simple V5 Motor Test Utility

If you’re running a decently large program, you probably have a bin of questionable motors. If your program is anything like ours, that bin is probably partially full of motors that students are blaming for their own issues, cables, or overheating.

This quick test software (written in PROS) helps you resolve which motors are actually bad and which can go back in the good motors drawer. It runs the motor through a forward/reverse test for a few seconds and decides if they perform well enough. No need to restart the program or use specific ports, it figures out the port numbers for a motor and encoder and will run a test every time you plug a motor in.
