Re: One power supply or 3?

Without knowing the specifics of the motors you plan to use, it's hard
to say for sure if the single supply, built with the components
described, will be adequate or not.

However, there's no reason NOT to build three supplies ( short of
cost ) and there's a SLIGHT theoretical advantage in doing so, so why
not.

If I was building it for myself, I may not use three supplies. If I
was building it for my dad, I undoubtedly would.

How's that for "summing it up" ?

In either case, pay close attention to wiring practises ( reported on
many times in this forum ). The most excellent design of the Gecko
electronics eases some of the wiring concerns, but care taken on this
point is most important.
