As I mentioned, I don’t need the whole connector kit or the pullup board and honestly, they are a bit expensive since all I need is that 2mm header and I see some very similar ones that are only 0.37 on Jameco. I could order some from there but I am trying to avoid the delays of ordering, finding out the part is not right, trying again, etc.

Of course I can just cut them off and solder wires, but we may do this for multiple bots and each one has 4 motors, and each encoder has 4 wires, so that is 16 soldering steps per bot that I’d prefer to avoid. Also, if we need to replace a motor, it is good to have connectors to detach rather than soldered connections that have to be cut and re-soldered.

Bottom line, if you have a link to, or even an exact wording of, the mating connector, I’d really appreciate that.

I can get it pretty tight with the shaft and bearing out, but the issue there is that the instructions are pretty clear regarding allowing the motor to center with the shaft and bearing in place and only after that tightening those bolts.

Guess I will just tighten as much as I can and see how it goes.
