Hay Steve, I'm using this motor and encoder on the waist of my B9. It's pretty quiet and I really don't notice it. I have some pictures of it installed over in my project thread here on the ez robot forum.

That connector pin on the encoder accepts a common 0.1 Molex connector and housing. Found at places like Digikey, Mouser and Great Plains Electronic. Look here

I don't know if the crimpers you mentioned will work with them but I bet they will.

Hi Dave,

I intend to use the motor for the same application as you, (not really a coincidence ) I'm in the process of pricing a Molex crimper and some alternatives as we speak with my local Electrical Wholesaler. The Molex one is pretty pricey eek I need to check all the crimper's I already have too, I may have something that will do the job. I will have to wait for the crimp terminals from Element14 to turn up so I can do a test crimp.

I found an excellent low cost crimper, well, low cost compared to the Molex crimper. The Molex one would have cost me nearly $500 eek Hard to justify with the amount of work they will do. The other one is made by Engineer, model number PA09 $75 and they work a treat. Very happy with them.

Nice find! !

Where did the wheels come from that are shown on video ?

@rb550f, The wheels are standard 6mm axle trolley wheels that have been customised.

It needs the customisation because my robot locomotion platforms can move with great precision so I need to reduce wheel slippage to an absolute minimum else movement errors start to be a problem. This type of end wheel design helps keep wheel slippage down to a minimum.
