Motor and Power are often Anderson Powerpoles. On my MecanumBot, the Talon power leads go right to the PDP's WAGO connectors.
I always solder when using Anderson Powerpoles. Basically I use the powerpoles and solder if I have the time. If I want something quick/temporary or I want to be able to quickly replace/move devices, I use the CAN connectors.
Whatever you do, always tug-test! |
We used a much larger version of that CAN connector device (8*8Pin) that we created ourselves this year, same Weidmuller connectors and all. While it never gave us trouble for competition... the one on the practice robot had a fault we could never figure out. I'm not completely sold on that design and I think it has some problems.
I am really digging the Molex connectors posted above. I am going to buy some to test with. I get the APP connectors but I don't want to use them for such small wires and would prefer something else.
At least it isn't RJ11... thank goodness for that.
