Hi Lowell,
I think you need only 3 wires for one rotor, and 2 wires for the other (because you'd use the common hot from the first rotor). However, you wouldn't know meter reading for end of travel of the motor, and could damage the rotor.
If you are using the remote tracker interface (such as LVB that has front panel control as well as PC control), you could maybe run long cable from the tracker interface (in your shack) to the controller (in your garage), and you would have both control and digital readout of the position, and the LVB would know end of travel of each motor.
Other ideas?
