looking for 300mm 40 pin to 26 pin ribbon cable...

Tue Feb 03, 2015 10:32 pm

I have a TNC-Pi & Pi model B mounted inside a HDMIPi, with the gpio pins linked with a 300mm ribbon cable.
I will soon upgrade to a Pi 2, so will need a 40-pin to 26-pin ribbon cable.
The only cable I can find is Adafruit's, but it won't be long enough.

Does anyone make such a cable that is 300mm long?
Thanks,
Paulie

You don't tell us where in the world you are so I'll assume you're in the UK.

It looks like this mob in Cardiff can build one for you, at any sensible length

It might be worth calling them on the phone tomorrow

Also be aware that it is very easy to make your own cable.
