I don't know about everyone else but my biggest frustration in robotics is the simple task of joining wires with plugs or connectors. I recently almost fried the
EZ-B board using bullet connectors which are not polarity safe (you can accidentally plug them in the wrong way with neg/pos). I know one has to be more careful but at times with certain connectors it can happen.
Does anyone have or know of wire connectors that can fit the following simple criteria for electronics.
1.Can handle different current and amps
2.Can handle different thickness of wire and connect well.
3.Are polarity proof (only go in one way)
4.Can be soldered and have wire protection without too much difficulty
5.Are cost effective
A super bonus would be if you could just plug in the soldered wire and screw them in.
Follow this Anderson PowerPoles LINK to check them out.
Haven't used them myself, but I'm looking into it. Seems like a good idea.
They are good connections but you need to make sure to
get the "locks" or they will vibrate/wiggle loose.
A little overkill I find for smaller electronics projects.
