Voltage Dividers

[daviamp]

My question is are we allowed to use voltage dividers on the left and right window motors to slow them down?

<R59> disallows it. If you want to control the speed, you should connect the window motor to a Victor 884 (speed controller) and control the speed in software.


Even if it was legal, using a voltage divider is a horribly inefficient way to limit the speed of a motor.
