Re: Using a PWM cable splitter for 2 Jaguar motors
It will work fine, we are doing it and have done it in the past. The point of having a Y-Cable is to drive two Jaguars or Victors or Servos that must be run continuously, such as when using said AM transmissions. With one level of Y cables (two Jaguars or Victors) you will be fine, but with more the signal gets too low to drive all of the inputs on the Jaguars or Victors. So if you have two motors, its fine.
You could also use CAN, but thats more work to setup if you already have everything on PWM and impossible using Victors.
