Ports question

[Penguin1]

So I had two questions on the brain ports

1. Is there any specific brain port that gives more power to motors or has some special use?

2. If I use a longer wire, will there be a difference in current output to motors? For example I use a 200mm wire and a 400mm wire to two drivetrain motors, will one spin faster?

I think these questions are useful generally and I couldn’t seem to find anything similar to it.

Thanks

No

Don’t worry about this, under normal conditions, any slight drop in battery voltage due to wire resistance should be compensated for by the motor firmware.

has some special use

There are some specific ports that are automatically used by the “drive” option on your screen (including 1&6 and 2 others?), but when running your own code, it doesn’t have any difference from other ports.
