Re: Higher Quality Wire/Connectors
We've had the materials to make our own for a while now. We use the following parts from Molex: 16-02-0102 (female pins), 50-57-9003 (1x3 housings). Add to that your favorite 22-24 gauge wire and your set! There's a crimp tool to go with the pins that we really should get one of these days... we've been soldering them into the crimps and it's worked fine so far.
We've found that the PWM cables in the KoP are generally enough to handle the cases where we need the full cable (both male and female ends). We always have encoders, limit switches, potentiometers, or other sensors on the robot that only need the female end in order to plug in. We got really tired of cutting so many PWM cables in half!
