Re: Jaguar to Motor

This was a case of driving 2 motors in a tough box. Yes, the wiring was the same.
The thing I didn't think to mention was that I was driving them with a radio control (think model car) receiver just so we could test the motors and see how much torque we could get out of them.

I assumed (my bad, I know, lol,) that the inputs on the Jags, or any other device were high z and so that loading wouldn't be a problem.

I see now that that's not the case.

Thanks for letting me know.

Mike
