Contacts for removable panels (cable-free)
2600:
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.
