No, assuming your DRIVER is the "chopper" type, and you install the correct
"current-set resistors". The DRIVER limits the voltage to the motor, to
maintain the specified current.

If you use CHOPPER DRIVES (as are "all" of the newer Bipolar drivers such as
Gecko 201 or 210), then the 10 amp supply is WAY larger than necessary for
two or three 1.2 amp motors! But this is fine! No problem! The driver, if
connected properly, will act as "brains" for you!.

READ and accurately-follow all the hook-up info that comes with whatever
drivers you use!
