JVN calc with two motors in Linear Mechanism
I have been using JVN calc to test the speed and gearing that we should have for out elevator, and we are using two RS-775s.
How should I add up the two motors in the "Linear Mechanism" calculation? It only allows the specs for one motor to be inputted. So far I have been doubling the stall torque, but I don't know if that's necessarily correct. It seems like it as, as free speed shouldn't change. Do I double the current too?
