I recently bought a WidowX Dual Pan/tilt system from Trossen Robotics that I was looking to control using an Arduino Board. I was able to control the motors with some basic code but noticed that it still functioned normally even with the awkward set up shown in picture. The Arduino is powered from the distribution board sending 12V 5A amps to the 3 XM430-W350 Motors. My question is, is it safe to continue to run the system like this? Will it damage my equipment? Also will I be able to run additional motors off of this set-up? I want to power a 12V DC brushed motor off of this set-up? I would prefer to continue being able to run my set-up like this because it reduces the number of wires in.
