Re: Robot Signal Light, 2 and 3 pin cables (aka PWM or servo cables)

Another good source for making these cables I found a few years ago on CD was http://www.hansenhobbies.com/

Read the Connectors pdf file for everything you could want to know about how to make these. They also have a Crimping Video which demonstrates the process. It takes patience and practice.

Re: Robot Signal Light

We used a PWM cable too, seems like the easy solution. Especially if you're kind of late getting around to connecting the light! (like 2 hours before you put the robot in the crate)

If I remember right the RSL was in a small white box in the tote along with all the other electronics components. Check again, this was on the list of components that you should have checked when you got the KOP.

Last year's light may be the same or you could buy a new one using the "additional KOP materials"

Re: Robot Signal Light

The Allen Bradley light we've received in the past is identical and will work just fine.
