You might be able to use multiple Y-cables on a single PWM output, I don't know the max fan-out.
Of course this exercise is done purely out of curiosity to see how many Jags you could control. The motors you could control with the Jags is limited to 13, including 4 CIMs, 4 total Banebots motors, 4 window motors (which have issues with Jags), and 1 FP motor. The extra CAN Jags could be used to read sensors, but I am not sure what you would do with the extra PWM Jags. Perhaps, you could use their 3 color LEDs to signal which tube you want next to your Feeder  |
You can control as many jags as you want with one channel of PWM (unless you do so many you get limited by current or something... not likely with a 20A breaker).
Cost restrictions say 41 max, if you use nothing else but KOP parts. Christmas tree please?
