No cables... solder some?

Hello,

I made my first newbie error and sent mail rather than a post ;) However -

I have all the parts for the simple robot, the one in the 'how to make your first robot' section' But i didnt read carefully and forgot to check parts.. so my sharp sensor doesnt have cables!

wondering if anyone knows how to solder a set of wires and make your own cable - im generally quite handy with my soldering iron ;)

Kind regards,

It is like that :smiley:
Sure, i think thats exact same part.
Soldering cables straight onto it makes sense - so does being caution of ‘cooking’ parts, haha.
Thanks for info

Check out this connection (with a couple pics) made to a Sharp GP2D12, adding regular size pins (0.1 spaced)

I’ve had to re-flow the solder on some Sharp connectors before, since it cracked probably from wire flexion on a moving sensor.
