Connect more than 3 motors to an NXT Brick

[dareangel87]

Hi,
I want to be able to connect more than 3 motors (Interactive Servo Motor) to an NXT Brick AND be able to control them individually. I know you have to use a multiplexer for this, but I don't know which one. I have a port-splitter (Port Splitter for NXT Digital Sensors) that I got from the Mindsensors website, however this seems to only work for sensors, and you cannot control each motor individually. Multiplexers for controlling motors on this site do not support Lejos.
Can anyone suggest something that would help me connect multiple motors to one brick, and would allow me to control them individually?
Thank you!

You might use a servo motor controller together with regular R/C cars servos or motors.

What makes you think that leJOS does not have support for the Mindsensors motor multiplexor? Details of the leJOS support are here on the Mindsensors site:

and the API details are here:

Hello gllomyandy,
dareangel87 has possibly a sensor multiplexer, which is obviously not applicable to motors.

Multiplexers for controlling motors on this site do not support Lejos.

The manufacturer websites might not be up-to-date. As recommended, you should look into the leJOS documentation to find out, whether a device is supported.
