Just recently got my table up and running. The wiring I am using is #18, 6 conductor, shielded, to my steppers. I basically have two questions. First..my steppers are 4 wire so that that leaves me two extra. Being in the same jacket would it be or not be advisable to use them for home or limit switches.
Someone had commented they could get stray erratic noise from the wires feeding the steppers. comments??????
Second........Each conductor is 7 strands of copper. I don't feel it is flexable
enough for long time service. Does anyone know a source to get 4-6 conductor shielded cable? I just afraid if I let it go one day a wire will break and there goes my driver board. Thanks.................Nick
