Clean feedback starts with physical routing
Feedback quality is shaped before the first parameter file is loaded. Routing distance, bend control, and separation from noisy lines all matter.
A clean routing rule set prevents the kind of intermittent issue that burns days because it appears only after the cabinet is closed.
- Separate feedback and power paths as early as possible in the cabinet.
- Control bend radius at the moving point, not only in the trunk.
- Photograph the approved routing path for repeat builds.
Routing checkpoints
These rules are simple enough to use in every build review.
| Checkpoint | Good state | Risk if ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Path separation | Maintained through cabinet | Injected noise in feedback line. |
| Bend radius | Within cable spec | Intermittent signal loss over time. |
| Documentation | Photos attached to build pack | Repeat builds drift from validated route. |

1. Separate feedback trunk from power trunk
2. Confirm bend radius at moving point
3. Save cabinet photos into FAT recordContinue Reading
