Need advice regarding wire
Posted this a few minutes ago in wrong forum. My apologies.
Have my Geckos powered up, Mach3 installed, motors turning while connected to the drivers with their four 8" wires. Now I'm preparing to mount the motors which obviously will require more than 8" of wire. Someone said the wires had to be shielded. Can someone give me specific info regarding the exact type of wire I need to use, where to get it, where to get connectors so I can quickly disconnect the motors for maintenance. My motors are 640oz steppers. Also need to know the same things for the limit switches. Thanks
Jumping into the discussion feet first.
I looked over the site Eric recomended and it doesn't appear that they have any reasonable heavy gauge wire. I was always told 22awg was to thin for the currents that a CNC needs to handle and most people have recomended 14 or even 12 to me (although 12 tends to get a bit stiff).
