Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all

Standard pigtail lengths on every motor w/ Anderson connectors:


Extra solenoids and speed controllers on the board:
-If a solenoid fails, we swap the tubes over to the spare solenoid and change the mapping in programming. Unused spare solenoids are plugged with tubes that have been folded over and zip-tied. This is a cheap plug that doesn't leak.
-If a speed controller fails, we disconnect the motor from the failed speed controller, and run an extension wire to a spare motor controller. Because there are quick disconnect spade terminals on all speed controllers, this is can be done very quickly. Programmers then remap to the spare controller.
