Brief Description: Redid some electrical stuff
|
|
Been doing a little piddling every day or two, nothing much. I thought about having to remove the roll servo someday, and did not want to have to resolder the leads while lying under the wing, since the dripping solder might burn my nose, so got a few Molex connectors and cut out the soldered splices, replacing them with a 9 pin Molex connector. I could not find any wires to match the future feature leads on the servo, white with blue or green tracer stripe, so took some #20 white and shrunk small bits of green and blue heat shrink tubing at the ends, to be able to keep them straight when they emerge in the fuselage later.
Later I did do a little reading on the Dynon Forum, and found that the signal wires, as opposed to power and ground, carry only infinitismal amounts of current, so could be smaller than #20. Also found that the future feature leads would be signal wire as opposed to power, so could be #24 and would need to be installed as a twisted pair also. So, I bought some blue and green #24 wire, already had some white, and more Molex connectors. I will be cutting off the present connectors since they are only usable with #20 and larger wire, and installing the smaller connectors, and #24 wire except for the power and ground leads which will remain #20. Also experimented with using a blue and a green sharpie to put a stripe on the #24 white wire, appeared to work well, I will let it sit a while and rub it to see if it will stay.

Molex connector installed on roll servo (for now)

Tracer stripes made with Sharpies. Appears to work pretty well.
