Reddit reviews Multicolored Breadboard Dupont Jumper Wires – ALLUS J7011 120Pcs 3in1 Ribbon Cables Kit, Male to Male (M/M), Female to Female (F/F), Male to Female (M/F) for Arduino and Raspberry Pi

I do this type of thing on most of my guitars and use Dupont jumper wires. I cut the connectors off leaving a short bit of wire that I solder directly to the pickup wires and the various pots and switches. Makes for super fast pickup changing as well as coil splitting, series/parallel, pot swaps, etc.

I use these for attaching the output jack on my strat to the pickguard. This allows quick removal of the entire pickguard.

There's also a link to do it... in 75 easy steps (seriously) that's floating around. But I never bookmarked it because... 75 steps... But if that route that I linked doesn't work for you, maybe somebody will pull up that other link.

However you do it, you'll need 6 Dupont female to female (or with an arduino, 5 female to female and 1 male to female) jumper wires. Like these.

There's also a way you can use a cheap 1602 LCD like this as a status indicator for your Octoprint that will tell you % completed on a print and estimated time remaining. It takes 4 female to female Dupont jumpers. So you can reuse some of those jumper wires.

FWIW, if you live near a Microcenter, you can buy an arduino uno for $8... if the Raspberry Pi bootloader doesn't work for you. I tried it once and it didn't work right off the bat, but I had an arduino uno on hand so didn't try a second time.

Tldr at the end

I can't find any schematics for the cable so I'm not 100% sure it would work, but judging by some size comparisons, I think you could use some jumper cables meant for breadboards. If you could give me the size of the port of an individual pin of the 8 pin connector I can verify.

If the size is 2.54mm then for around $6 you can get: Multicolored Breadboard Dupont Jumper Wires - ALLUS J7011 120Pcs 3in1 Ribbon Cables Kit, Male to Male (M/M), Female to Female (F/F), Male to Female (M/F) for Arduino and Raspberry Pi https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073X7P6N2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_oseBDb0RSX6HQ.

You can get a 10 foot 1/4 TRS for ~$6 on Amazon: Hosa CSS-110 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS Balanced Interconnect Cable, 10 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068NYH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7ueBDb0M84YBM.

You're looking at about $7 for the xlr: AmazonBasics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable - 6 Feet, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JNLTTKS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0weBDbQNK67CW

If you have a trs cable, jumper cables, or an xlr cable at your house it will be cheaper. You would also need a soldering iron and some solder ~$10-$15.

It depends on the supplies you need. Assuming you don't have the cables but you have the soldering iron you're looking at about $20. Otherwise it is the same price.

Tldr; it's only $10 cheaper if you don't have a spare xlr, 1/4 TRS, or jumper cables. If you don't have any of the cables as well as the soldering iron, it's the same price.

Will you'll need all the stuff to have the pi operational (power supply, SD card...etc)

Then you'll need the power supply for the LED matrix if yours didn't come with one.

Finally, you'll either need

Sorry for links, I'm on mobile and too lazy to pretty it up

If you mean the button , no you don’t need an extra board but you you can’t connect it there , it doesn’t know you pressed the button because it’s off .

A workaround is to get a power supply with a power switch.

Turning off works because the rpi know you pressed the button and does the required action .

The cable you’re looking at is called ‘jumper wire ’ , and you also might want a breadboard

Turning on doesn’t need script because you’re just closing the circuit to allow current pass through then powers the pi .

For the turning off part , you do need scripts , it’s more like telling the computer what to do , you need to tell the computer what to do when you pressed the button , more precisely, you also decide which coding language you want to code it in , and there’s python , that’s where the pi name came from , c mostly known because it’s the language in arduino ide or just simply Linux that you type in the terminal in the pi

Good luck and when you meet any issues, just post it here .

Glad to help:)

Good luck on your build
