@Clueless I need something and don't know the terminology. So the DHT22 connects to three pins on the pi gpio board.

I want to put the sensor a few feet away from the pi so need an extension cable of some sort

I don't want to extend all 40 pins, just those that are needed. I'll be putting other sensors on other pins.

Fireduck
I want that cable, but longer

@Fireduck I have 4 conductor wire.
2020-04-18 03:53:05
Clueless
and probably that sensor as well

Fireduck
Do you have connectors that you put on the wire?
2020-04-18 03:54:15
Clueless
yes.

Fireduck
I've used those of course but never assembled them

probably easiest to solder the wires to the sensor and connectors on the other end.

Fireduck
I don't solder. Against my religion.
2020-04-18 03:56:48
Clueless
I can do either.

The lord spake and said let the connectors be lose and maybe slide off because chaos is fin

I'll go check my parts pile. I have the senors on the way alreayd.

I have dupont connectors. You can arrange them in plugs however you want. so 8x 1x1, or 2x 4x1

actually, a 3 pin case fan extension works perfectly

Looks like I don't need a resistor
