18g for lower current components
22g servo wire. |
I was really confused as to why you were measuring your wire in grams for a moment
But more seriously, that's pretty much stock standard. You can also use 14AWG for 30A circuits [Standard 2014 vs 2015 rule warning], but we generally only use 12AWG or 18AWG. We actually prefer 26AWG for servo wire, since they're generally only taking TTL signals, the extra resistance isn't an issue and we find it's easier to insert into the housings.
Also whenever possible get bonded/zip cable such as
this, it makes your wiring much cleaner and easier.
