Bitzero V2 Shapeoko and Nomad

[Daniel-san (Daniel Uder)]

Hi all,

I have seen the old topic with the different connectors.

Quick question…for those who own both machines: How do you handle this?

Will @carbide Is there going to be an adaptor to use them on both machines?

If not, can you specify the connectors, so I could sort out a solution myself?

I can’t really get myself into buying to of them if the connector is the only difference.

As usual, any help / hint appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

The connector for the BitSetter on a Nomad 3 is different from that on a Shapeoko — you can see this difference in the documentation.

Not sure what the specific connector is for the Nomad 3 — for the Shapeoko it’s Molex KK, which I believe is called out at:

SO3 Molex connectors for steppers

Wanted to share my research I just did for sourcing the 4 pin Molex KK connectors used on the SO3 steppers and controller board. I am upgrading the cables to shielded 22 awg so needed these. I found some incomplete info here and there, so hope this helps someone.

Shapeoko 3 Connector Part Numbers

I’ve seen many people and I myself trying to find the correct connectors for the Shapeoko 3. So I’ve compiled a list to have them all in one place. If you find any errors let me know. Also any connectors I may have missed. Please note that there are many part numbers for crimp terminals. Whether Tin or gold, Reel or bag and maybe more. If you can’t find the one listed where you buy your parts, find the crimp terminal series and look for others. On the Molex website a bit under the part numb…

Hi Will, thanks for your quick reply.

I have a feeling the best is to go with a separate Bitzero for each machine then…
