Hi,

I have a sensor that has some males pin which need to be connected to Arduino.

When prototyping, I use the breadboard but now that I would like to have everything more solid do I have to solder directly a wire from the sensor to Arduino or it exist a kind of wire with one side with male pin and one side with female pin?

Thank you

One way is to plug the pins of your device into a breadboard and then use normal hook up wire.

The easier way is to get some M/F jumpers.
