Re: Longer Talon SRX Data Cables
I've been emailing back and forth with Paul Copioli on this exact topic.

What I was suggesting was that Cross The Road make female breakout boards that can plug directly into the SRX and encoder so that we could solder our own wires between the two without the need for a ribbon cable. Paul, as I understand it, was thinking people would just make their own ribbon cables. I've suggested they publish a list of parts and a Youtube video for doing that because my previous experience with making my own 30 gauge ribbon cables has not been a positive one.
