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.

We are using the Y-cables to shift both servos at the same time. Actually, we are using two Y-cables to shift 4 servos at the same time (two sets of CIMs and DeWalts on each side.) It works fine.
