Re: 1 Encoder, 2 Jaguars

Correct.

Our wiring was setup to split the single encoder to two jags. Our code was setup to drive only one motor at the time, to verify that the encoder counts were actually being read correctly. And to determine the correct motor polarities.

Again our tests weren't thorough, we quickly switched to a "slave" Jag being driven off the output from the "master" and this appeared to work well, so we didn't go further with the split encoder tests.
