::rtm:: do you have to have a jaguar for each motor?
What i mean in this is can you splice 2 motors into 1 jaguar or will the safety inspector just frown at it :(

You may not control more than one motor per speed controller.

R46:
Each power-regulating device (speed controller or relay module) shall control one and only one electrical load (motor, actuator, electric solenoid, or compressor).



Exception: Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves or lights may be connected to a single relay module. This would allow one relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple lights. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner.

Rule [R46]
Each power-regulating device (speed controller or relay module) shall control one and only one electrical load (motor, actuator, electric solenoid, or compressor).

You can not control more than one motor with only one jaguar. You'll need a second speed controller if you wish to control another motor.

You are allowed to split the PWM cable running into the speed controller, however. A cable that does this was included in the Kit of Parts.
