hi would it be safe to use 2 motors on 1 jag?

Re: jag question

I don't know how safe it is, but it is illegal.

a. Each CIM motor and Fisher-Price motor must be connected to one and only one approved speed controller. These motors must not be connected to relay modules.

Re: jag question

See rule [R50]

All electrical loads (motors, actuators, compressors, electric solenoids) must be supplied by an approved power regulating device (speed controller, relay module, or Digital Sidecar PWM port) that is controlled by the cRIO on the Robot.

Each CIM motor and Fisher-Price motor must be connected to one and only one approved speed controller. These motors must not be connected to relay modules.
Servos must be directly connected to the PWM ports on the Digital Sidecar. They must not be connected to speed controllers or relay modules.
If used, the compressor must be connected to one and only one approved relay module.
Each other electrical load (motor or actuator) must be supplied by one and only one approved speed controller, or one and only one relay module.

Re: jag question

ok thanks for the info

Re: jag question

I believe you could use a Y-cable if you have PWMs to put multiple Jags in one sidecar port, however.
