moogah Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The kits do not include the cable. Which one you need depends on the module, and your preference. Which modules are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetimboroni Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well looking at the module it looks like I will need both. A 16 pin cable for the LCD screen, and 10 pin cables for the AINs DINs and DOUTs. (I am getting the MB64) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 If you have an old, unused PC lying around at home, you can always cannibalize some unused parallel- or IDE-cables... it's an almost unlimited resource :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC has a good point too tho, a good way to save some cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havensole Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 well, if you're in the US, go to allelectronics.com. on the right hand side, scroll down to "wire" when that page opens, click on "ribbon calbe" and grab the 20 conductor cable. it's only 2.80 for 10 feet and being as it's 20 conductor (20 wires) you can split it down the middle for 20 feet of 10 conductor, which is more than enough, and you can strip 4 wires off to get your 16 conductor. i bought 20ft. and it has been almosot neough to do 2 midibox sequencers and a midibox sid, i was short by around 2 feet, and alot of that was from rookie mistakes. well, my 2 cents.

toneburst Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Smash's rainbow-coloured cable is pretty though.A major consideration, I think ;)Alexhttp://www.toneburst.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
