-Place to aggregate motor information, mostly as it relates to microscopes
--05-28: creating page to aggregate industry pinout information and mcmaster recommendations.
-====== Indexer connector (single) ======
-===== BBB =====
-mcmaster goal: come up with a standard connector to put on BBB cape
-Goals:
-  * Requirement: fit 6 connectors on reasonable size BBB cape
-  * Use an existing standard
-  * COTS cables, or at least easily
-  * Shielded
-  * Durable
-Main candidates:
-  * DB9
-    * Durable connector
-    * COTS super available
-    * Shielded
-    * Breakout boards readily available
-    * No insustry standard pinout
-      * I thought Gecko, but that's actually for the motors
-  * DB25
-    * Industry standard connector
-      * Single and multi versions
-    * However, too large
-  * Combicon style connector
-    * Quick to make
-    * Can use shielded cables
-    * Can't buy whole cable, or at least will be expensive
-    * Wires can stress and fall off
-    * Used on Gecko and some others, although not consistently
-===== DB25 (step/direction) =====

-Above: Compumotor OEM650 pinout
-{{:pmc:vs:pmc_vs_db25.png?300|}}
-Above: PMC VS Drive pinout
-This seems to have been a de facto standard for some years. I've observed it on Compumotor, PMC, and other drivers.
-mcmaster: IMHO this is too bulky to use in modern applications, although I do have several legacy drivers using it
-===== IDC 5x2 (step/direction) =====
-{{:ims:mdm:ims_idc.png?500|}}
-Used on some MDrive17 motors
-mcmaster: of particular interest to me since I try to use these motors by default.
-====== Indexer connector (multi) ======
-===== Gecko DB25 (multi-axis indexer) =====
-{{:gecko:g540:g540_db25.png?300|}}
-Above: G540 indexer connection
-The G320X servo driver uses post mounted Phoenix contact type connectors.
-====== Motor connector (power + data) ======
-===== M12 connector (power + CAN) =====
-M12/M23 seems to be common on modern stepper motors. The MDrive manual for example cites it was done to reach IP65 enclosure rating:
-<code>
-The MDrive17Plus2-65 Motion Control adds protection against the ingress of fluids and dust to
-the MDrive17Plus2 by changing the motor-drive enclosure to meet IP65 specifications. With this
-change the connector configuration changes to industry standard M12/M23 circular connectors.
