Good thoughts! The current draw for my servos are 180mA and 150mA at no load, 880mA and 450mA at stall. And I've got these things on a very light load, so call it under an amp. The 22 Gauge wires of a Cat5 or Cat6 wire are rated for up to 2 amps. In fact, on a separate Cat5 cable from these switches & servos, I'm powering two 1.5Amp stepper motors with no issues at all (another 8 wires withby CustomWebProgrammer - RAMPS Electronics
I'm building a RAMPS-based XY plotter and have had good success, but I need help consolidating my wiring to add limit switches. I think I have "almost" a good idea for implementing limit switches and 2 servos. Using Cat5 cable (8 wires, 22 gage) I need one more wire... tell me if this might work or if I'm just going to have to find a 9th wire: 1) X- (Using NC 2-wire limit switches for #1 - #4) 2by CustomWebProgrammer - RAMPS Electronics
