Hi,
You really don't want to connect TWO motors to the same DRIVER, but if
the motors are wired properly, you can have the controller x axis
connected to TWO DRIVERS. This should work out fine. Obviously,
turning the appropriate directions! ;>) But you knew that! Should be
some examples of this at the SuperCam site:
