Jaguar to Motor

Are we sure the 1pwm to 2 Jags via a Y cable is supposed to work?

Thanks

1 PWM port can provide signal for any one of the following combinations:

• 1 Servo
• 1 or 2 Victors
• 1 or 2 Jaguars

You can not have one PWM port provide signal for a Jaguar and a Victor. The Victor draws much more signal current than the Jaguar and essentially starves it.

I made sure that a single PWM port can provide more than enough signal current for two Jaguars always. In fact, the circuit is beefy enough for three (or four >80% of the time) Jags.

Can I ask which PWM port(s) you were using? Are you sure you didn't have one of the PWM cables upside down?
