Re: Extending IR board connector wires

The IR decoder board has a ten pin ribbon cable connector. It came with a ten pin ribbon cable. I don't see a reason to use anything other than a ten pin ribbon cable to connect it. That's how we're doing it.

At the other end of the ribbon cable, we have a board with another ten pin ribbon cable connector, a pair of FAST-ON connectors for power, and spots for two PWM cables to plug in and carry the four digital signals to the RC. For the final wiring, I think we'll forego the extra connectors and solder the power and signal wires directly to that board.
