      Hello,

      I'm interested in making a custom cable for the DC Encoder Motor driver/Lego+ module (i.e., I don't want to use the Lego motor cables). Is there a part number somewhere for these connectors? I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the available documentation.

        The lego connectors?
        With China offlimits, they are hard to find

          If we are talking about mindstorms motors, they should be rj11 connectors no? i'm not sure if the cables are wired any different to rj11 networking cables though

              Hello,
              You can buy the Connectors here "https://www.generationrobots.com/de/401190-kabelstecker-fur-lego-mindstorms-nxt.html"

              You can get the pliers here : "https://www.conrad.de/de/p/fixpoint-wz-crimp-04-pl-rj10-rj11-rj12-rj45-11951-crimpzange-modularstecker-westernstecker-rj10-rj11-rj12-rj45-989942.html"

              Now you only have to use the pliers according to these instructions here : http://lego.brandls.info/legtips.htm#Kabel"
              and you can even crimp the NXT / EV3 connectors !

              I am involved in everything that has to do with automation, including the M5Stack's, a few 3D printers, a CNC mill and a lot of other things. The M5Stack's are all really great, I can't imagine a better prototyping.

                Thanks to everyone who posted links to the mindstorms connectors, but I'm actually looking for documentation on the the connectors on the Lego+ board (6 pins, ~1.27mm pitch).
