Reply to "DC Can motors in Series or Parralel?"

Thanks guys.
I will let you know how it turns out.

When I open up the FA  unit I will get the e-unit numbers.  And measure the current draw.

Another question on the same project. Currently the conventional unit uses the pickups on the rear unit for lights on all the time. Only the front unit uses the pickups for power.
There is a two wire tether for Dc to the motors only.
I would like to use all four pickups for power. I would the use a 4 wire tether.
I am thinking of hooking up the lights to the Dc motor circuit using diodes for directional change. Similar to the way Weaver did it. It will eliminate the rear light circuit on the TMCC board. Of course it would dim. Any other ideas on how to do this?
Thanks.
