[00:37:38] <rue_shop5> hmm
[00:38:07] <rue_shop5> 3d printer, cnc machine, robot arm, screw scale, colour detector.... not sure of what to work on
[00:45:14] <rue_shop5> oh there is the mowerbot too
[00:45:29] <rue_shop5> ... two of them actually
[14:02:36] <beanbag-> B
[14:02:37] <beanbag-> M
[14:02:39] <beanbag-> C
[14:02:39] <beanbag-> C
[14:42:44] <z64555> Bring My Computer Case?
[14:42:53] <beanbag-> BITE MY "CANUCK"..................CANUCK
[14:43:11] <z64555> k.
[17:41:34] <SorcererX> I have a motor with encoder that has a 6-pin JST connector, but my motor controller expects 2 of them to be connected to a screw terminal, and the 4 wires for the encoder expect jumper cables. what would be the easiest way to connect them? just remove the JST connector, wire the +/- for the motor to the screw terminal, then find some suitable way to get jumper cable connectors on the remaining 4 for th
[17:41:40] <SorcererX> e encoder?
[17:49:51] <Snert_> is the jst connector solder side accessible?
[17:50:23] <Snert_> I'd just solder wires directly to the pcb side of the JST connector.
[18:08:38] <SorcererX> it's accessible, but it looks rather tight soldering wise.
[18:12:10] <Snert_> I have bought prewired connectors with about 6 inches of wire. For inline splicing a new connector on.
[18:12:27] <Snert_> like for 6s & 8s lipo balance taps.
[18:12:56] <SorcererX> yeah, female connectors seem easy to find, harder to find male connectors, but it seems doable
[18:13:30] <Snert_> I bought the female side, but I bet you could fine the female side pre-wired pigtails too.
[18:13:42] <Snert_> male side I meant.
[18:14:22] <SorcererX> it seems like the pin pitch is 2.54 mm for some silly reason
[18:15:10] <Snert_> same size I bought.
[18:18:25] <SorcererX> seems like 2.5 mm is standard while 2.54mm is not though
[18:19:57] <Snert_> .1" spacing ... same as 2.54mm. Though what anyone calls astandard is a crap shoot lol.
