>I'd just replace the cabling that seems to be giving you an issue. No point in fucking around with faulty wiring when it's (usually) such an easy fix.


yeah thats what im doing. but
LOOK AT THESES FUCKING ENCODERS HOLY SHIT.
With the way these encoders are I have to re solder or splice wires wires together to the encoder because the faulty parts of the harnesses(joint 1 and joint3) are attatched to the motors. The robot works kinda fine when I remove the encoder housing and there is no strain on the cable. The actual encoder batteries (theres one in the main controller which was dead so I replaced with a cell phone battery) are 2 fat ass capacitors a 1 farad, 5.5v cap. Ive replaced one already on the main I/O board so Ive got like 15 spares if these ones fuck off on me. I want to rewire theses encoders with a db15 connector to make dis assembly easier . I just dont know the best way to go about this. Desolder all the original wires from the encoder, or cut them al;l up and crimp on the db15 terminals.
