GND pins on fans board's connector
-
Hi,
I've got an unconventional problem. I use a multi wire cable from the board to the effector (Because I prefer one cable :)), since I've got 3x40mm fan on the effector it takes 6 wires. I'm not a genius in electronic so I wanted to know if GND pins on fans board's connector are link to each other?
I mean will I be able to solder all the fans GND from the effector to one wire (then split it to 3 wire on the duet), so I'll reduce the number of used wire from 6 to 4?
The gauge of the wires isn't a problem. And I've got classic 40mm fans (not thick ones)
Sorry if it's too dumb

The positive fan wires are commoned, and the negative ones are switched as required. So it's the positive fan wires that you can replace by a single wire. No need to split it again at the Duet, the fan current is low so it can all come from just one of the fan connectors.
