Using a breadboard is convenient for prototyping, but if you want to make your Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects more reliable, robust, and professional, you might want to consider creating custom cable harnesses to connect your components together.
In this video, I'll show you how to use a ratcheting crimp tool and a set of 0.1" 2.54mm Dupont connectors to create your own cables.
The equipment I'm using is:
-SN-28B DuPont ratcheting crimp tool. e.g. amazon.co.uk/Crimping-Volador-Self-Lock-Non-Insulated-Terminals/dp/B077RVK5JK
- 24AWG stranded silcone cable. e.g. ebay.co.uk/itm/Flexible-Silicone-Wire-Cable-8-10-12-14-16-18-20-22-24-28-30-AWG-Various-Colours/331718921763
- Set of Dupont crimp pins and housing (amazon.co.uk/620pcs-Dupont-Connector-Header-Jumper/dp/B01KVFFD82)
