Help with wires

I purchased skr pro kit. I printed the box . The wiring seems to be relitively strate forward the gray flat wires and the one black flat with 5 wires I have connected but I see nowhere do I see where where to put the other black flat wire with 6wires the instructions show a rainbow color wire but don’t reference it anywhere.

Do you have any pictures? I think you’re talking about the TFT wires and the extra black flat wire goes in the same connector as the other, but would need a picture to tell for sure.

Welcome @starbud13! Congrats on getting to wiring stage.

Agree with @J2_cnc, some pics of where you’re at would be helpful.

LowRider build…
For what it’s worth, shared walkthrough of my build/wiring experience here… https://zoomtube.com/@azab2c/make/v1e-lr3?v=3_10&t=25_35_55.

The flat black 6 pin wire look like extension wires. Useful for extending the 4 pin stepper wires, and 2 pin endstop or 2 pin touch plate wires back to the Controller.

The kits used to ship with white extension wires, the docs probably still show those.

Are you building a MPCNC Primo, or Lowrider3?

Primo

@starbud13

The male end plugs into the stepper motor cable and endstop cable to extend the wiring to the skr stepper driver and endstop plugins.

Stepper drivers:

Endstops:

So they just threw in an extra wire to confuse me. Not hardLOL
I am using shielded 18 6 for my stepers and Endstops thanks all
