Re: Grayhill Encoders: wire gauge + connectors

Jon,

I missed that rule. Thanks for replying and pointing it out!

James,

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of PWM connectors and Hansen Hobbies. We already have stuff from them for making PWM cables, so using those 5 pin housings will be easy. (Apart from the fact that we need to do some training now that our resident PWM cable maker has graduated)

I ordered that 28 AWG 4 strand flat wire. That's easy and inexpensive. My assumption is that I'll have to find something in 24 or 26 AWG for a competition robot, but it's surprisingly tricky to find 4 conductor wire.

Thanks again,
Dan
