Re: cooling fans and c++
I think Alan is saying that it is overkill to connect the fans to the power board. The fans are not required to have a dedicated circuit with a breaker. You will already have 12V (2 wires) coming from the power board to the V+/V- terminals on the victor motor controller. You can connect the wires for the fan of each victor to its own V+/V- terminals. The fan will run full speed all the time whether you hook them up to the power board or the V+/V- terminals.
