I have a place where I want to control up to 4 steppers but in a modular fashion, i.e. it'll be some other machine using up to 4 motors on other days. So I need a 16+ pin connector which is easy to plug in/out, ideally cheap because this is just a hobby project. After some research, the "best" option seems to be USB-C at 19 pins (at ~1 EUR with breakout board for easy soldering), with the single downside that my room will contain a USB-C port actively regulated to push up to 2A at 24V. How bad of an idea is this? #electronics
