Touch Sensor Ribbon Cables

These are made specfically for the MakerBit (and HyperDuino) and are a half-meter long so that they work with large posterboard projects.  The grey block connector has a "key" on it so that it can only be inserted the correct way.  The sockets alternate black and white so that if you use the cable in the Analog or LED connector of the HyperDuino, black will signify the Ground (GND) connection.

Multi-purpose Ribbon Cables

These cables are for connecting multiple different color LEDs. They can also be used for sensors like photoresistors & temperature sensors. The black block connector has a "key" on it so that it can only be inserted the correct way. The sockets are formed as pairs, with a small triangle that shows the Ground (GND) connection.
