Ribbon Cable Replacement

Hi there,

I have a question. Is possible to replace the ribbon cables of Aurora R4? The colorful ribbon cables are delicate and tend to block airflows. I am looking for a consolidated cable.

    What cables exactly?
     
    Aurora-R4 uses standard cables. Only thing kinda special about it is MIO-Board and related items attached and controller by it.

    MIO board cables. They form a swarm.

    Hmm. I wouldn't mess with it. Maybe tie them together or push against wall or side.

     

    Remember, many of those wires are thin, old, and barely crimped. If you try to remove connectors from board, and instead end-up damaging crimp, you will wish you had left it alone.
