Is the signal strong enough to command 2 Victor 888 controllers with a Y cable?

Good question! The Pulsinator has a maximum output current of 40mA. (For reference the RoboRio's PWM channels are current limited to 15mA.) This makes the Pulsinator great for driving multiple motor controllers with a splitter cable. The Pulsinator has been tested driving 3 motor controllers (Talon SR, Talon SRX, Victor 888, Jaguar, Spark) using a three way splitter, and it works very well, giving full speed in both directions. This makes the Pulsinator a great tool for testing drivetrain gearboxes or other applications.
