JavaLaurence Posted February 27, 2013 at 09:56 PM Posted February 27, 2013 at 09:56 PM Which crimping tool needs to be used? Thx. Quote
borg Posted February 27, 2013 at 10:02 PM Posted February 27, 2013 at 10:02 PM Try to search for "JST SH crimp tool". But it is probably easier to cut a Bricklet cable and solder on a longer cable. Quote
JavaLaurence Posted February 28, 2013 at 08:13 PM Author Posted February 28, 2013 at 08:13 PM OK, will try that route first. Thx for tip. Quote
JavaLaurence Posted March 24, 2013 at 02:42 PM Author Posted March 24, 2013 at 02:42 PM Follow-up post: I have now made such a cable, and it appears to work perfectly, at least from an electrical perspective. Total length: 4.5m. Quote
JavaLaurence Posted March 25, 2013 at 06:46 PM Author Posted March 25, 2013 at 06:46 PM You'll probably agree that I didn't aim to win any aesthetic contests.. but functionally, it works For the curious, I used one Ethernet cable.. and halfway realised I actually needed 10 cores, not 8, so I butchered another length of Ethernet cable to give me the extra 2 cores.

batti Posted March 26, 2013 at 09:03 AM Posted March 26, 2013 at 09:03 AM Nice Your cable looks crazy. Your LCD 20x4 mod is really interesting. Quote
JavaLaurence Posted March 26, 2013 at 07:23 PM Author Posted March 26, 2013 at 07:23 PM "Mod" is just using custom character bitmaps. If the LCD allowed more than 8 custom chars, one could do much fancier stuff. Quote
