Title: Connecting to Breadboard
Post by: rahulpwns on November 06, 2011, 02:28:17 PM

Hey guys,
I am working on a project where i am disassembling an RC Car and using the parts inside to create an autonomous vehicle. I am planning on cutting the wires from the motor and connecting them to my own breadboard. However, these wires are too thin and will not fit snugly into the breadboard. How can i connect the wires from the motor to the breadboard? Is there a way for me to solder them onto a jumper wire? Should i replace the original wire with a higher gauge wire?

Thanks,
Rahulpwns

Just solder a pin on each wire.
