1.5 hrs on more wiring!

Decided to put some heat shrink tubing on the GMU 11 connector wiring.  Neater.

Nice!

Some medium strength Loctite on the screws...

And on it goes.

Let's put the connector on temporarily so I can measure out the wire to the pitch servo.

Routed through and I'll cut it to length.

Pull the connector off and pulled the wires back out.  Label the other end so we don't forget what's what...

Now this will be a bit tricky because this is the CAN Bus and it needs to be daisy-chained and the shields connected together.  The exposed wire is longer than needed for the crimp because I'll solder the next link in the daisy chain to it.

Other wire (Pitch servo to roll servo) striped, the shields put together, and then soldered together with solder sleeve.  I checked the shield connection with an ohmmeter end to end and it was good.

Wrap the shorter wires around the longer wires and soldered together.  Make sure the CAN Bus is connected properly: Hi to Hi (blue stripe wires) and Lo to Lo (white).

Wires trimmed to length (keep the two wires the same length or it could be difficult to insert the pins), pins crimped on and heat shrink tubing on.  And we have a CAN Bus daisy chain!  Nice!
