bad motor connection

Post by mogenheid » Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:37 am

I have test the motors with weird jittering/loud noise no movement results. I have concluded that the connection to the motor is bad. This is because the motors will would perfect some time and go crazy the next. This was fixed by wiggling the connection to the stepper motor.

So my question is there a better way to connect the motor to the board?

I was thinking about taking extender wire from the board or motor connection, stripping the 4 pin connector wire, and soldering the extender wire from the board to the stripped wire. The 4 pin connector just feels loose and wiggles. I dont think i have a small enough soldering iron to isolate the connection on either the motor or the board to do a direct solder.

Is there a better way?
