Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Molex PicoBlade: pre-crimped wires or DIY?

[Piotr Esden-Tempski]

Hi,

From my experience it is really hard to crimp picoblade connectors without the 
crimp tool. And the tool is sadly over $400 resulting in the "pricy" wires not 
to be that pricy after all... if someone found an alternative to the totally 
overpriced crimp tool. Please let me know too. :D

At the company we have the crimp tool of course, several of them even. But 
privately I was just getting the precrimped wires.

Cheers Piotr
