GB0 - Supplies

Post by dim » Thu May 05, 2016 3:10 am

Sorry but is 22 AWG good enough for the wires? More or Less ?

22AWG is ok but i think you are better with threaded rather than solid core

Something like this would be more than enough:

(no affiliation with seller)
The one linked above isn't the cheapest, just search up '22awg stranded wire' and you should be fine. :)

+1 for threaded! Solid core will snap off the board way too easily since it is far more rigid.

@wermy when you say snap off is this before putting on the hot glue or after? All I have is 24awg solid core at home. Do you think I should just order the stranded wire? Or will there be a lot of bending of wires?

Remember you will be needing to move these items around to get things to fit. As solid wire is not as easily bent it will be more likely that your soldering points will break if you attempt to use solid wire that is why in many electronics do not use solid wire.

No problem it what these forums are here for and I wouldn't worry too much about getting separate colors for each one as you will probably only be wiring it up once, and if you do get something mixed up you it shouldn't matter as you still have to program what each key means.
