I pulled the relay, then found the buffered pwm from j3-14, and hooked that up to one of the now unused relay terminals. So that was not even rocket science. > > Did you consider looking for a firmware with a pinout to suit the > board? No. that pin is vital to running Jon's pwmservo, and is a gpio anyway. But with the A axis now in use when I finish it up and hook it up, all the p3 pins are committed, no spare to move it to. > > Those white 4 pin plugs fairly scream for a matching cable to be > > plugged in as opposed to using the green screw terminals, because to > > use those I'll have to open them with a prybar as I have yet to get > > a wire smaller than 16 gauge to force its way into that style of > > terminal, when the leaf, driven by the screw, is already pre-bent > > into the closed position > > Have you tried bootlace ferrules? No, but the ones I am fam with are about 2x too big to fit these anyway. Got the card modified, and about 90% installed. Legs gave out, too many times up and down a 2 step ladder. And I think I have some 5 volts and 12 volts crossed, both are on red wires, so I had to print me up a fresh copy of the terminals on Jon's pwm-servo amp. Its the only thing in that box that needs a 12 volt feed. But thats tomorrows job, when I am fresher. But some of those 4 white pin mini-connectors and a foot or so of cable out of them sure would be handier than a whole case of bottled beer. I've googled for them, but haven't found any.
