🔌 Enhance Connectivity with 40 GenBasic 8 Inch Female to Female Jumper Wires Review

So I'm building a HeathKit digital watch - an updated one I built in the 70's. This involves cutting a 4 inch strip of six wires, tinning the ends and soldering both ends to both the scoreboard and the control board. I did this once and decided the next set needs to simplify this step a bit. Voila, GenBasic 80 pcs "male-male" and "female-female" (4" and 8") were not only the correct length, but also followed the standard color codes. Just great! With the additional purchase of breakaway PCB…

Note that these wires are actually magnetic. I had connected three wires between two Raspberry Pis. The sound from the headphone jack caused a lot of noise with a headset. When I replaced them with MicroCenter premium jumpers, which cost me three times as much, the sound problems went away! just some buttons etc, they will probably work. But if you get weird results with them, spend more money and buy real wires.

I needed a 4" cable to connect my Raspberry Pi to a miniature instant control switch so I could reset the Pi out of the box without unplugging the power cord. I put 2 pins on the Pi's reset pins and wanted to cut off the ends on the other side to solder the switch. They turned out to fit the thicker switch contacts so I didn't have to use a soldering iron and it saves time as I have to make quite a few of these. I have many other uses for them as well, including peripherals that use the I2C…

I create projects for Arduino all the time. Most of them have some external devices connected to the Arduino board. I use them for connections. Multiple wires are easily separated from the bundle to make connections. The only change I want to see is the black and red wires side by side for power and ground.

These are great things to have on hand if you're doing home projects with a mini processor like the Arduino or Raspberry Pi. You can use them for prototyping and/or final design. They're just wires with a jack on one end and a jack on the other. They are ideal for connecting plug contacts to pin contacts on various sensor and actuator boards. I bought one of these, a set of these female to male and female to female connectors, just to have on hand and I've used a surprising number of…

So I'm building a HeathKit digital clock - an updated one I built in the 70's. This requires cutting a 4 inch strip of six wires, tinning the ends and soldering both ends to both the scoreboard and the control board.

It took me 4 inches to connect my Raspberry Pi to a mini snap switch so I could restart the Pi without disconnecting the power cable. I put 2 pins on the Pi's reset pins and wanted to cut off the ends on the other side to solder the switch. They turned out to fit the thicker switch contacts so I didn't have to use a soldering iron and it saves time as I have to make quite a few of these. I have many other uses for them as well, including peripherals that use the I2C interface for the Pi and…
