[Swansea Hackspace] Arduino Mega and Nema 17 motors

[Richard Morgan]

Thanks Justin-Brian-Ceri,
That looks to be the connector I'm after, and that crimp tool had an eye
watering price!

I was looking at this one on Amazon
<https://www.amazon.co.uk/quality-UNIVERSAL-crimping-crimps-engineer/dp/B002AVVO7U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462305161&sr=8-2&keywords=pa09+crimp>
which
is a bit more in my price range. Happy to go at this price as I'm hoping to
build my multi-rotor soon and will get plenty of use out of it I'm sure.

I expect to need several multi and maybe single pin 'wire-to-board'
connectors as part of the project, are there any preferred
standards/suppliers I should lean towards? Also, I'm looking at 28AWG wire
to use for the wiring on the multi-rotor project, any advice on this
also...?

Cheers,

Richard

P.S. This mailing list is a fantastic resource - thanks to everyone for the
expert advice and really fast turnaround :-)
