Re: PID How to hold an arm in a fixed position without a locking gear box

Keep in mind that when you need high-torque motors (like in a programmed non-back drive mode), it helps to use two of them, if possible. If you wire the two motors together (+ to + - to -, then the combined + and - to the victor controlling them), now you are taking two circuits and combining them into one, distributing the power evenly. Not only will the two motors operate in perfect harmony, it will also multiply your torque and stall rating by two.
