You might be able to use multiple Y-cables on a single PWM output, I don't know the max fan-out.

Of course this exercise is done purely out of curiosity to see how many Jags you could control. The motors you could control with the Jags is limited to 13, including 4 CIMs, 4 total Banebots motors, 4 window motors (which have issues with Jags), and 1 FP motor. The extra CAN Jags could be used to read sensors, but I am not sure what you would do with the extra PWM Jags. Perhaps, you could use their 3 color LEDs to signal which tube you want next to your Feeder

You can control as many jags as you want with one channel of PWM (unless you do so many you get limited by current or something... not likely with a 20A breaker).

Cost restrictions say 41 max, if you use nothing else but KOP parts. Christmas tree please?
