The Great Search: Jumper Ribbon Cables
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
This week we chanced upon this post from toybuilder about pre-crimped ribbon cables (https://twitter.com/toybuilder/status/1771226899374657600) and it gave us major deja-vu because we used almost the exact same cables when designing the X0XB0X kit (https://www.ladyada.net/make/x0xb0x/fab/parts.html) to 'jumper' between the mainboard and I/O board. Let's take a look if these are still stocked at DigiKey and we'll also go over the Lessons Learned when using these inexpensive multi-connector ribbon cables.
