I have an Arduino based tester like what you described in prototype mode right now. When I get further I will try to post something. But I may be wasting some time on one aspect of it by including both powered and un-powered PWM outputs. I know that the digital side car has jumpers to allow you to power the center pins for driving both servo's motor controllers. Does anyone know what the common motor controllers we use do with that center pin? Can I just provide power to the center pin all the time, or will that create a problem with some motor controllers? Since the motor controllers are powered separately and that pin is not needed, why would it just not get connected inside the motor controllers?
