Limit Switches Arrived
The limit switches came in today. They are even smaller than I expected. I knew what the measurements were, but it didn’t really connect until I had one in my hand. These would fit in a tight space fairly easily.
I pulled off a strip of ribbon cable that is three conductors wide. I colored one edge black and the other edge red with permanent markers. I separated about half an inch of conductors at one end and pressed them into the connector using a small screwdriver. I think they are in far enough to cut through the insulation and make contact with the wires. If they don’t make good contact when I test them in a week or so, I will have to find something else to press them in further. The holes are pretty small. Perhaps a straightened out paper clip would work well.
