This cable looks like a USB micro cable but it isn't! Instead of a USB A Plug, it has a USB A Socket on the end. This cable is designed for use with OTG (On the Go) host devices (like the Arduino Due or many tablets) so you can connect a mouse, keyboard, or any other USB device. You'll still need to have drivers on the device, this cable is just a cable and contains no microcontroller or electronics inside. Approximately 6" long from end to end

If you have a project where you'd like to be able to detach the wiring, this wire will fit the bill. Its a JST 2.5mm 'free hanging' cable assembly that latches strongly. One wire is marked with a white dashed line. You can't plug these in backwards. We use these mostly for EL wire. This is the same connector as is on the inverter. It's useful if you're making a Y-connector or want to attach EL wire to some other kind of inverter. 0.1" (2.54mm)...

This product is a 3-in-1 cable. By itself, it can act as an extension cord for any 5.5/2.1mm DC power cable. The heavy 22 AWG wires can handle up to 5A. You can also cut it half to make two barrel cables (one plug and one jack). This will allow you to connect a classic 'wall wart' to a breadboard or PCB without having to solder in a bulky power jack. Or you can use the plug half to connect some batteries to something with a 2.1mm jack.

If you need to connect a DC power wall wart to a board that doesn't have a DC jack - this adapter will come in very handy! There is a 2.1mm DC jack on one end, and a screw terminal block on the other. The terminals are labeled with positive/negative assuming a positive-tip configuration (which is the most common)

This handy USB extension cable will make it easy for you to enclose a device that has a B type port. We think this would be most handy when putting an Arduino in a box. The jack half has two mounting 'ears' with M3 screws installed, 1 inch / 25.4mm apart. Can be used with box walls 0.125" to 0.25" wide. If you have a thinner-walled box, simply swap out the M3 screws for shorter ones. Entire cable is 11.5" long.

These LED strips are fun and glowy. There are 60 warm white LEDs per meter, and you can control the entire strip at once with any microcontroller and a power transistor. The way they are wired, you will need a 9-12VDC power supply and connect directly. If you want to dim the strip, use any NPN or N-channel MOSFET (although the big powerful kind is good for a large strip) and PWM the input. We splurged and got the weatherproof kind with white...

If you want to connect multiple EL wires/strips/panels up to one inverter, these splitters are quite useful. There is one male connector (goes to the inverter) and then 4 female connectors (which will connect to each wire/strip/panel. You can even cascade them! Only thing to watch for is make sure that the total length of EL does not exceed what the inverter can drive!

This is a big sheet of flexible plastic coated with EL material so its like one big glowing square. It emits an even aqua glow over the entire shape, and you can even cut it into any shape you want using scissors as long as the connector is still attached (you'll probably need a few inches of the edge as well). Another option if you want to have a custom design, we suggest cutting something opaque to 'mask it' or printing onto a transparency and...
