4 cim motor programming in labview
 
My team usually goes with two drive motors per andymark toughbox. This year we want to change to two cims per toughbox. How do teams program this so that motors run in unison? I program in labview. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Tank drive if possible

The "proper" way is to replace the Open 2 Motor Drive with Open 4 Motor Drive in the Begin vi.

The easy way is to leave all the programming the way it is and use PWM Y-cables to control two speed controllers from each of the left and right drive motor PWM outputs.

I love this way; it feels so clean for some reason. It made me smile when I first saw it.
