Using Shielded Cable for the LongBoard V3

Community Discussion 📄 General

I would like to use shielded cables for my stepper motors, so where would I connect the piptail wire that connects to the shield within the cable?

All four connector pins/connection are already being used for the motors.

Can I just connect the shielding ground wire to one of the bolts on the LongBoard chassis box?

Thanks to all that reply.

Think the control box itself is not grounded. Would tie the shields to the aluminium of the LM itself and the earth conductor/ground wire if existent.

Thanks @JHahn I think I will make a separate/stand-alone terminal that will connect back to the power supply.
