I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the names of electronic hardware components - or if such items exist - or where to get them.

I'm thinking that I want to put physical headers on the J1 and J2 positions on the -043 kit so that we can use male-to-male jumper wires.

What would these be called?  Can they even be found?  Where?

If 1 row X 29 position headers aren't available, how would you suggest shorter headers be distributed?

Also -- can I use a USB A - USB A cable to connect the -043 to my desktop computer?

Hi Susan,

1. Most headers with 2.54-mil pitch are OK for J1 and J2. You can purchase some from shops online. For example:

https://www.mouser.com/Connectors/Headers-Wire-Housings/_/N-ay0lo?P=1z0xbxoZ1ytkls2Z1z0z5h6Z1z0wxp6Z...

2. Yes. You can use USB_A - USB_A cable to connect the -043 to your laptop.

Thanks,

Ryan

In addition, pin number of headers should not be a problem. Either cutting a long one, or several shorts linking together is OK.

Thanks,

Ryan
