Re: Consolidating PWM's to one serial cable
As far as I know this is true. Somewhere in the Victor documentation it says that it neither sinks nor sources current on the 5V line and does not need to be connected. I don't know if it violates any rules to just use two wires.
Edit: I guess it says it does not need to be disconnected. So not explicitly stated in the documentation, but still true that you technically don't need it.
Also makes me wonder if the signal and power ground are internally connected or isolated (I suspect the latter). Bad practice not to use a separate signal ground line, anyway, I would think.
