Victor Syncing

Sorry, I didn't mention it before but this is not for the drive it is for an elbow like joint driven by two window motors on two victors with no gearbox.

Make sure you calibrate the two Victors using a "Y" cable. That way, they will also be calibrated to the exact same signal. This "should" get the two motors very close in performance.

How do I calibrate the victors?

Page #2 has the details.

Calibration Instructions
The Victor is pre-calibrated to values compatible with an
IFI Control System and re-calibration is not needed.
You can re-calibrate to achieve ‘full forward/reverse’
from your joystick movement if necessary.
NOTE: While in calibration mode, the Victor will
record the max PWM value detected as ‘full forward’,
the min PWM value as ‘full reverse’, and ‘neutral’ will
be the PWM value recorded at the release of the Cal
button. The following steps will guide.
User Calibration:
1. Power ON the speed controller.
2. Press and hold the Cal button. After a moment, the
LED indicator on the Victor will begin alternating
between RED and GREEN to indicate a cal mode.
3. While continuing to hold the Cal button, move the
joystick to the maximum and minimum positions.
This can be done in any order and as many times as
desired.
4. While continuing to hold the Cal button, return the
joystick to center (neutral position).
5. Release the Cal button.
6. A flashing GREEN indicator confirms a successful
calibration.
7. A flashing RED indicator denotes an unsuccessful
calibration.
An unsuccessful calibration occurs when either:
a) Insufficient joystick travel was detected in forward
and/or reverse.
b) The trim tab is too far from center.
Resetting Calibration to Factory Pre-calibration:
1. Power OFF the speed controller.
2. Press and hold the Cal button.
3. While continuing to hold the Cal button, Power ON
the speed controller.
4. A flashing GREEN indicator denotes calibration is
reset. Release the Cal button.

We used two window motors last year to power a cam for our kicker. Essentially, the motors were sandwiched together with the cam in the middle. We powered ours from two spikes, but never had a problem with any speed differential between the two window motors.

Yeah, what im worried about is the variable speed of the victors because window motors usually only go forward stop reverse and im worried about them changing at different rates and twisting the mount
