(there are also combo kits with ratcheting crimpers, housings, male pins, and female pins) Even if you aren't good at crimping pins, you can get pre-fab F-F, M-F, and M-M Dupont jumpers with 1x1 housings, pull off the 1x1 housing, and move the wire and pin to a 1x8 housing You could fit your circuit on one of the small 170 point breadboards, but it would be a bit tight (minimum of 15 out of 17 rows used) and the ICs would block at least one of the screw mount holes on the solderable version. You'll have a lot more room with 400 point boards like this combo. If you already have a regular breadboard, there's this solderable version . . . . . . or this 300 point version. Scott |

Thanks as always Scott. Immensely helpful yet again. Especially this time for all those links. Good strippers and crimpers I have, but that kind of Dupont assortment I have been needing for a while now! This will be fun. I don't even think I will destroy anything in the process. :) |

Glad to assist. :cheers: --- Quote from: bobbyb13 on December 10, 2021, 05:38:24 am ---Good strippers and crimpers I have, but that kind of Dupont assortment I have been needing for a while now! --- End quote --- To be clear, you don't have the Dupont pins and housings but you do have the right kind of ratchet crimper jaws for Dupont pins? (i.e. not QDs) - If the jaws aren't stepped like #3 in this image they are definitely not correct. Even with the right tool it can be hard to get a good, clean crimp that fits into the housing. - Unlike horseshoes, hand grenades, and atomic bombs, "close" isn't good enough for Dupont crimps. :lol Scott |

Hey look at this. Building something instead of buying it. |

Problem sometimes when I have no idea what in the hell I'm doing though. Good thing we all have a Scott here. :cheers: Now if I can get time to even scratch ---my bottom--- when it's itchy maybe I can build one of these. |
