Has anybody noticed that the connectors on the Vex systems all use Male pins to connect to the Micro Controller? The plugs have a key on them as well, but a standard, as in "FRC", extension cable will plug in. Just make certain you check your orientation.
So, now back to you CapnBFG, any idea where to get male pins and plugs???  |
The vex controller key is pretty much the same housing as a fubata servo connector, except with the key in the opposit posistion, and the fubata part that is keyed like that normally accepts female sockets instead of male pins. We just use the same molex c-grid connectors we use for everything. They're much cheaper when you buy them in bulk (we usually use 200 or so housings plus pins/sockets every year between custom pwm cables, sensor cables for both vex/mini rc and full size rc). The only problem with them is that their pins are slightly longer than real servo connectors, but that isn't much of a problem with the way the new plastic on the spikes and speed controllers support the connectors.
