 You can order a cable through some of our distributors,​ just be sure to get the "Pixy2 LEGO Cable" instead of the "Pixy LEGO Cable" which is slightly different. ​   You can order a cable through some of our distributors,​ just be sure to get the "Pixy2 LEGO Cable" instead of the "Pixy LEGO Cable" which is slightly different. ​

 Making your own LEGO cable requires a few parts. It's recommended that you use a 10-pin IDC connector, like [[https://​www.sparkfun.com/​products/​8535|this]],​ which is already crimped with a ribbon cable, or [[https://​www.sparkfun.com/​products/​10650|this]]. You also need a LEGO Mindstorms sensor/​motor cable that you don't mind chopping up, because those offset modular connectors are pretty hard to find. If you have a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit, you have several of these, but if you don't want to sacrifice one, you can buy them [[http://​shop.lego.com/​en-US/​EV3-Cable-Pack-45514|here]] or [[http://​www.amazon.com/​Lego-Mindstorms-45514-Cable-Pack/​dp/​B00I7POITY/​ref=sr_1_1?​ie=UTF8&​qid=1443631923|here]],​ or possibly lots of other places too. Making your own LEGO cable requires a few parts.
