Re: Ribbon cable

That depends, what do you want to use it for?

Re: Ribbon cable

Guess what?

Quote:

<R71> Ribbon cable smaller than 24 AWG may be used to connect signal lines to the 9-pin ports on the Robot Controller.

That does appear to be the only place you can use it, though.

Re: Ribbon cable

It has to be 24AWG or larger (unless going into the serial ports as Eric mentioned above); if it meets that requirement, it is legal. BTW, the answer to this question and many others can be found (probably faster too) in the robot section of the manual.
