The motor-controller allows for different operation modes, on the flexbot the "Analog One-direction with forward/reverse select on S2" mode is used. To select this mode check and adjust the switches accordingly
The motor-controller needs an analog reference voltage to determine motor speed, and not a PWM signal like e.g. the linear actuators. To control the motor with a reference PWM signal from the teensy the PWM signal needs to be filtered to an analog voltage. The documentation shows a diagram to achieve this functionality, both for fast filtering and smooth filtering
