Quick and easy servo cable splitter

Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi)

I needed to power my Spinneret from the 3-pin servo connector and also to connect a servo to it. This usually entails a "Y" cable, which I didn't have; and the nearest hobby shop is an hour away. I didn't want to cut and solder any of my precious servo extension cables, so I scrounged around to find a 2x3 header with long legs on both ends and wire-wrapped it pair-wise to make a 4-way:



Now I can plug the power into one, the Spinneret into another, and the servo into a third. That leaves an uncommitted set of pins to which I can solder a big filter cap, should the need arise.

Good idea... I shed a small tear when I clipped off the end of one of my servo extension cables.
