    hi guys ,
    On the diagram using 2 ITB-2 and Adruino, it shows one power supply to run 2 motors. my question is .. one power supply enough to run 2 24v motors that pull about 4amps each?

    Also if I understand correctly , to position the pot i have to remove them from the motors , center the chair and the motor links , then open simtools to make sure my pots are also centered and then attach them to the motor correct?

    I am running 2 24v 250 watt motors off a single 600 watt 30 amp power supply . Using 24 volt motors means you only draw half the amperage of 12 volt motors. Watts divided by voltage = amps
