Re: Unresponsive drive system
What is the motor arrangement? Are the motors mechanically paired (such as two motors connected to one gear box)? If so, it's possible that when you added the second jag, the wiring could get reversed and drive the motors against each other. Then nothing would move (and the jag's would probably indicate over-current).
