For signal cables you want Shielded CY cables or like Clive says you can use twisted pair Cat5 but only use inside control panel not running to limits etc on machine as it's not really flexible enough. I tend to use Cat5 in box as theres less wires and one cable will provide for 2 drives.

Yes quite correct I should have said cat5 flexi as in the patch cable type. (although you can buy flexi by the roll). Clive

Aliexpress is your friend for cheap capacitors, and just about anything really:

You need to be wary of fakes - I got these as they were the cheapest at the time and they're fine. On the lower end of the tolerance but that's not a big deal for what we're doing.

This is how I've been using the capacitors:



It keeps things reasonably neat.

I think if you go to '' GO Advanced '' you can over come the problem of '' message too short''
