so basically 2 pins is the standard cable... great.. makes life easier..
Anyway, any cable DIYer that recommend sites with good shipping prices but not in bulk?
i was reading up the cable DIY thread like:
Redco.com
sg.mouser.com (i have no idea how to surf the site LOL)
But those have to purchase at least 50 for some of the sites lol.... Don't really think that it is a good place to start for beginners...
Oh yeah, I remember someone wanted to make a switch for the cosmic ears? Wonder what is the status as well.
PS: Can beginners start such work in the first place?
Regarding the soldering equipment, I have my school labs that I can fall back upon for help..
EDIT: Just realize that I need to read up on the cable to use as well...
Looks like 26-28awg seems to be the norm..
You can buy cable by the foot at redco. There ate just better prices foe buying in bulk.
I actually picked up a small switch to do the mute function but it's going to be some time before I try it out.
Any beginner can learn to solder. Watch some tutorials and read. Then buy some cheap materials and practice your technique.
You'll be making cables for your Cosmicears in no time.
26-28 is just fine.
