Description
The Victor SPX is the latest member of the Victor Motor Controller product line. This latest iteration now supports both PWM & CAN while bringing over many of the features from the Talon, including voltage control and closed loop position control. Each Victor SPX comes with male and female 0.1" servo connectors on the ends of the CAN wires, making it easy for FIRST Robotics Competition teams to connect the Victor SPX to the CAN bus network that is already on their robot. Teams that aren't ready to make the jump to CAN bus can use these connectors to connect to the PWM outputs of the roboRIO (female connector).
The Victor SPX was co-developed through a collaborative partnership between VEX Robotics and Cross the Road Electronics and is 10% smaller and 25% lighter than the Victor SP, making it the smallest and lightest motor controller in FIRST Robotics Competition history.

- LED indicators blink proportionately to output speed for easy debugging
- Both PWM & CAN support
- Mirroring of other Victor SPX/Talon SRX controllers
- Position / Velocity Control using external CAN bus sensor
