If you have a pair of ratcheting-crimpers with the correct crimping dies (keyword search "dupont crimpers"), you can crimp male or female Dupont pins directly to the wire.

 

There are a number of different cimpers that will work fine -- not sure which crimpers/dies will be in your price range.   :dunno

These are two options that work well for me.

The HT-225D is available here or here --  use the "24-30" slot for your ribbon cable.  (it is 24 gauge, right?)

 

If you have Harbor Freight, 236-series, or 336-series crimpers, the HT-236-2U crimp die set works fine -- use the "22" slot.

Segment display controller board.
Next time I might go with some home made circuit board etching instead...  :P
