I've ended up having two 8-inch ADC motors and two Curtis motor
controllers. Seems a shame to let one set go to waste, so I was wondering
what the complications would be with the following setup:
- Two motors physically in parallel via pulleys and ribbed belts
- Two pot boxes physically ganged together, one for each controller
- One controller connected to each motor
That will basically work fine. The only concern is that if the belt
breaks, one motor will be spinning no-load, and overspeed until it
destroys itself. So you would want to have something to detect overspeed
and shut down that motor to prevent this.
