Mega V Rack Setup and Cable Extension.

[devmach]

Hello

I am in the midst of setting up my Mega V. I have completed the setup and I was testing the motion of the Y rack by giving it a moderate push. When I do this the pinion gear will jar / shudder on the rack? is this something that I should worry about? does this go away when it is under powered motion? When I set the rack to the pinion gear I did so by following the instructions on the video.

Also, I need to extend all of my cables for X,Y,Z connectors. What cable or cables / connectors do I need to purchase?

" is this something that I should worry about? does this go away when it is under powered motion? " Worry, no. It may require more adjustment when you start jogging.

The connectors are a GX-16 four pin.

If you don't want to make the extensions yourself CNC4PC sells extension cables in 8 and 12 foot lengths www.cnc4pc.com/motion-control/stepper-motor-control/step-motor-cables.html

Exactly what I was looking for mattgam thanks. I built a sound isolating room for my mega v and want the electronics outside of it.
