Three-foot extension cables are available for the Squiggle motor that connect the flex circuit on the motor to the driver circuit board. Longer cables can be used, however: • For direct (linear) drivers, longer cables will add load capacitance to the driver, increasing power usage. Do not exceed the drive circuits load capabilities. See driver data sheets for details. • For resonant drivers, extra cable capacitance and resistance will affect motor performance by de-tuning and damping the electrical resonance. Keep added cable total capacitance below 100pF and added resistance to a few ohms.
