I have lots of jumper leads which plug into Arduino headers and breadboard etc - but the pins are square. The programmer "Protoyping Pins" (shown on the picture in the hookup guide https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ti ... kup-guide/ ) are round sockets into which my jumpers won't fit. Can I find some round-pin jumpers? No! Clearly I'm missing something.

I have found the female headers for sale on RS Components (these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-pin-s ... s/2677438/).

Can anyone give me a clue as to what the corresponding plugs are called or point me to some round-pin jumpers? My friend Google has not been much use ... (My location is the UK)

I have jumpers with round pins, but I don't know where I got them. I would just use wire. something in the 20-24 AWG range should work.

Those are machine pin sockets. You can probably just stick 24g solid wire in them
