![]() ![]() Honestly the whole thing is pretty annoying. Take you through my crimping procedure – which seems to work.Tour the common version of the JST connectors, where they are used.Finally, you will discover that there are a boatload of crimping tools that range in price from $10 (for a crap pair of pliers) to $500 (for the OEM JST Crimpers) Then you will discover that there are tons of youtube videos that “show” you how to crimp JST connectors, and that most of them are absolute crap, particularly if you are 50 years old can barely see the freaking crimp connectors. The next thing that you will discover is that all around the internet on the maker websites you will find people referring to connections as “JST” and acting like there is only one type of JST connector. The first thing that you will discover is that “JST” stands for Japan Solderless Technology and that they make about 50,000 different types of connectors. In order to do this I needed to connect to the “ 6-pin JST connector for direct connection” which is on the right side of the board in the picture below.īut, what I might ask, is a JST Connector? And, how might you make a connection to it. Specifically, I was using the PMOD HB5 as a solid state switch to drive a higher voltage, higher current than the GPIO on the PSoC 6 can drive. Last week I was using a CY8CKIT-062-BLE PSoC 6 development kit with a Digilent PMOD-HB5 connected to the PMOD port. The Wikipedia article on JST has a nice table. BRADLEY GAWTHROP: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WIRING.He made reference to several useful things ![]() Since I published this article, Tom Nardi at Hackaday wrote an article entitled “ The unnecessary? Art of Connector Crimping” about my article where he pointed out that I am not the first person to come to that conclusion.
