Dewalt Shifting Questions
A question for the teams who have successfully shifted the Dewalt XRP's.

Does it make a difference how you control your servos to shift? We are presently running both servos off a single PWM Y-cable, so that we only need to use one variable in the code. The alternative is to run two different PWM cables and use a second variable in the code. This isn't a difficult thing to implement, it's just a pain to switch it over at the moment.

Our concern is this... Since the servos are powered through the PWM cable, and we're presently splitting that with a Y, are the servos only receiving 1/2 of the power they require?

Thanks for all the help.
