NXT cable wanted

Projects
1

Hello,

I need a Lego NXT cable to connect a motor controller to an Arduino for a project at Sam’s school.

The NXT connector seems to be some peculiar type that’s hard to get hold of so the best way seems to be to cut a Lego NXT cable in half.

Anyone got one they’d like to part with?

Interesting! Where do I find an RJ12?

You can usually find one on the handset end of old wired phones, or the modem end of dialup modem cables.

There is a criper in the Makerspace if you buy the empty connector you could crimp your own.
