I use a DB9 with shielded cable on pin 5 and the 4 drive lines each using an upper and lower pin in parallel as redundant connections and less current density. Cheap enough, readily available on short notice. Might try a DB15 with dual wires for motor + encoder signals. (That would be a {2 row} game port not a {3 row} VGA type connectors.)
I used XLR until a bad connection blew a driver chip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
