Well, I've got a 40 pin FFC, and a 60 pin, non-clip receptacle breakout like this thing: http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=3726 . With some electrical tape to thicken the terminal and ensure a snug connection I've gotten 39 of the 40 pins properly connected, otherwise some pin ends up doubly connected with another. I've tested several of the 20 possible positions to the same result. Does 0.5mm pitch mean different things to diferent people? Any ideas on how to rig this (melt the cable so its a pin wider? bend some pins on the connector?)
I appreciate any suggestions.
