    I am setting up limit switches and I have read to ground the shields. Where should they be grounded; the ground terminals on the Tinyg itself?

    That is what I do.
    Connect all the shields to a single 18 to 22ga stranded pigtail, slide the pigtail into the tinyG ground connection point (Vmot -).

    Stranded wire will survive more flexing than solid wire, if you have to use solid, check it occiassionally

    Thanks, that’s what I was thinking of doing.

    But remember. Only ground the shield at the tinyg end. Leave it unconnected at the other ends….
