Got a quick question which I imagine probably won't be too difficult for the experienced people out there...
I'm trying to build a differentially steered vehicle and I'm working off some instructions for a model, but I'm also using my own design for most of it.
My problem is that in the instructions, there are two battery packs (of 2 batteries) for the motors, one for left and one for right. But the way I have built my vehicle, I've used one battery pack of 4 batteries for both motors.
So how can I connect the motors so that the voltage and current would have the same effect as two battery packs?
If in parallel, then the current would be weakened (?), and if in series, the first motor connected would have to be on for the second motor to receive current.
