Sup anons,

I have a project where I need to read a signal between 0 and 1 volts at more than 100 samples per second.

I decided to get a raspberry pi and attach a gertboard for the ADC.

The equipment giving the signal has an RCA output which ends in two spaded terminals.

What is the best way to attach these tongue terminals?

Pic related, the original cable that came with the equipment.

These are mainly used for screw terminals where you don't want to unscrew the whole screw but just makr it loose and pull it out.

chop off the spades and splice in some female jumper wires. you can pull these female connectors from old computers, etc, (e.g. the audio cables running from the DVD drive to the motherboard)

I'd do what anon suggested

If I used block terminals, how are you supposed to get the terminals into the pinhole of the board? another spaded cable from the block into the board? and just screw the spades together?

>>1129787
I would rather not damage the cable unless I absolutely have to. This cable came with the equipment and shit was expensive.

you dont need spades to connect to a terminal block, just wrap some bare wire (from the female jumper) around a screw and tighten.

Yea. You need some crimpers too, to attach them to the wires. There's different sizes for different wire sizes.

Here's a lowes page that shows everything.
