Re: Fisher Price

If you want to make it easier on your programmers, hook each of the Fisher Price motors up to their own Jaguar (or Victor), then use a PWM Y cable (two should have come in the KoP) to connect both of the speed controllers to a single PWM port on your Digital Side Car. Thus in the code, these act like a single speed controller/motor, and you can be sure they are always being set to drive in the same direction and at the same speed.
