Re: Using two motors in the tandem

Along with Rob's concerns, I will also point out that the globe motor has a tendency to "overdrive" so that even though you cut power to it, it still rotates as it slows down. We've always had difficulty with it when trying to move in exactly 90 or 180 degree increments. The window motor will stop quickly, which will lead to the same problems that Rob described above.

I 2nd his concerns, and would not use these two motors in tandem.
