Hi everyone, thanks for the replies. I don’t think I was clear about what I wanted.
I had in mind something like this for connecting the buttons, pots and display to the breadboard:
But what are the bits you attach to the protoboard called? And the connectors on the end of the wires? Essentially I would like to be able to unplug the pots, buttons and display from the protoboard.
I don’t mind soldering on the protoboard to attach these connectors. I have made a diagram of what I was thinking…
I would need 5 (2 pin) of these connectors for the buttons, 3 (3 pin) for the pots and 1 (4 pin) for the display. In the picture I have marked where I think I could place the connectors in maroon and the wires I think I would need in green. Ignore the white lines - they were mistakes.
I have called the connectors headers, but I don’t think that is the right word.
Also, I fully intend to use panel-mount pots. Are panel-mount buttons a thing?
Does this make sense?
