Contacts for removable panels (cable-free)

Pages: << < (7/14) > >>

There was someone around here who did a DIY solution similar to this.  Forget how they did and who, it wasn't Lilwolf.

mahuti:

I did a crappy version, and ruled it a failure. On a few contacts it worked great. If I had some sort of industrial machining it could have worked good, but it was too difficult to build things like this fast.

Does anybody know anything about wiring into a USB cable? It'd be great to wire into a usb cable and get something understandable out the other side... I don't even know the first place to start.

Some sort of board involved I would guess...

Did you post pictures?  I remember the thread having pictures.

I may be able to help you on the USB thing, but what do you mean "wire into a USB cable"?


mahuti:

I'd like to be able to use USB cables, rather than ethernet, or 36 pin connectors or ribbon connectors to attach my panels to my machine.

Lemme see if I can find the thread / pictures.
