Any thoughts on the best way to connect these two together, given the spacing between the holes is annoingly different:
The LED strip is at the top of the screen, and the Controller is at the bottom.
I would normally just join them using something like this:
But because the hole spacings are different, I cant do that.
The holes are also too small to take something like a male dupont connector.
My only thought at the moment is the break apart the male pins into singles and solder them on each end of a small cable to they’ll go into each end.
So, seems the consensus was to cut the ends off and connect the wires together.
In the end I experimented with another approach, and whilst I’m happy with a soldering iron, this didn’t need any soldering. It did need a block of 2mm spaced pins, but I found these in the bag with the controller.
I had a bunch of short male to female dupont cables, which when stripped of their plastic housings, where the perfect size to put over the pins of the LED connectors. (The male ends needed a tiny tweak with a pair of plyers). Add a bit of heat shrink wrap to isolated them from each other, just incase, and job done.
