Re: 1 Victor 2 Window Motors

With 2 window motors and 1 shaft there is a possible problem with the locking pins if they are subject to shock loads. The pins on 1 motor could lock with out the other locking. Locking pins and position control with PID also do not mix well. Adding a spring, gas shock to balance the arm would allow 1 motor to do the job.
