I would like to make a light display with many LEDs connected by wires of various lengths. I would like to use some sort of header and connectors to connect the LEDs to the PCB. The LEDs will be controlled by a PIC through shift registers. Each LED can be turned on and off indendently.
I've never used headers or connectors. I was thinking I could use something like a 2-row x 20 header and then use a 2-position molex housing for each LED. How are these connectors fastened to the wires? Do I need a special tool?
Is there a better way to do this?
