Next we will wire up the motors. In this tutorial we will be using XLR connectors like you would use if you mounted the electronics in an enclosure.

Here are the basic tools and components needed for this step.

Cut your multiconductor wire the appropriate lengths ans strip the outer sheild back.

Since this is a uni-polar setp, prep the motor by twisting the common wires together. Yellow, blue, orange, and brown will be our commons on the yellow motors.

Now solder the motor wires to the 5 conductor wire. You will want to use heatshrink tubing to cover your solder joints so make sure to slip it on one of the wires before you start soldering.

Your common leads will all go to the same wire. So make sure that you have yellow, blue, orange, and brown all going to the same wire and remember that wire color as common. A bi-polar setup will only use 4 of the 5 wires.

We will be attaching the female end to the wire that has the motor connected to it, so grab your female xlr end and take the phillips screw out of the body.

Seperate the two pieces to expose the terminals. Look on the plastic housing for the terminals. Notice that they are numbered. The male plug is numbered correspondingly to the female plug so write down which color wire you put on which number. It will save you a headache later if you make all connectors have the same wire pattern.

Slide the metal sleeve onto the 5-conductor wire and solder the wires to the terminals.

When you are finished, slide the sleeve back over the connector and install the small screw.

Now solder the male connector to the driver side wire. From here, you will install the connector into your enclosure and connect the wires to the driver boards.
