Re: Found a Source of Affordable PWM Cables ($0.65 Each!)

Another option for teams not wanting to buy IFI's PWM cables is to make your own. They're easy to make. All you need is a special crimping tool ($40), the housings (300 for ~$60), the pins (1000 male or female pins for ~$60) and the ribbon wire (100ft for ~$35). So for ~$210 in parts and a $40 tool investment you could make 150 PWM cables at $1.40 a piece.

Yes, they are more expensive than $0.65. However, the trade off is being able to make PWM cables any size you want. This should help clean up a robots wiring.
