Ever wish you could have some nice orderly data cables for your arduino projects without paying a surprisingly large amount for crimpers, sockets, and pins? This isn't the perfect solution, and you have to do some soldering and gluing, but it is probably the cheapest if you repurpose spare cables of one sort or another.

All you need are some cheap male (for plugs) or famale (for sockets) headers like these:

These look cool and will save xacto-ing female headers, but I don't have any: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/743

Then print out a shell to accommodate as many or as few pins as you want in either a single or double column format, with or without a strain relief shell. After that, solder up your
