Nice. BTW, a handy tip - if you don't have the official ribbon cable cutting tool, you can crimp the connector as shown in your picture and then run a NEW, SHARP razor blade / box-cutter blade along the connector body to slice off the ribbon cable "tail". It takes a little practice to get the angle right, but you end up with a much cleaner connector. If the cut leaves wire "whiskers", your blade is either too dull or you're cutting at the wrong angle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
