<\/a><\/div>\nFor the motor wiring, I am using 6 core alarm flex from Wickes<\/a>, but I pull out 2 of the cores first, I use these elsewhere for limit switches and other low voltage wiring.<\/p>\n I have 3 different sets of connectors on my various stepper motors, the X and Z motors use a JST EH 6 pin 2.5mm pitch 6 pin connector<\/a> and crimp pins<\/a>.<\/p>\n completed connector<\/p>\n The rotary axis uses a\u00a0JST 6 pin 2mm pitch connector<\/a>\u00a0and associated\u00a0crimp pins<\/a>.<\/p>\n completed connector<\/p>\n I checked which pins make up which coils before wiring the connectors, you will note from the above pictures that the different motor types are also wired differently.<\/p>\n The Y axis motor is a dual shaft motor that has wire tails, so I will just extend these.<\/p>\n This shot shows the X axis motor<\/p>\n The other ends of these cables will make use of 4 pin DuPont connectors to attach to the\u00a0Protoneer<\/a>\u00a0stepper board.<\/p>\n For the step\/direction signals from the DSP to the Protoneer<\/a> stepper board I made use of some of the spare cores from the motor wiring, using bootlace ferrules on one end.<\/p>\n and DuPont 2 pin connectors on the other<\/p>\n all 4 cables made up<\/p>\n and then wrapped together with some expanding sleeving – I made sure to label both ends before wrapping them all together.<\/p>\n cables in place<\/p>\n Next I started on the limit switch wiring, this again made use of individual cores from the alarm cable, the X and Y wiring makes use of a shared ground wire but individual signal wires.<\/p>\n The wire cores are soldered to the microswitches on the one end, and have bootlace ferrules on the other.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
