We buy 7pin 2.54m 6S1P JST-XH cables from AliExpress<\/a>. These come with wires already attached. We take out the red, black, and yellow wire by pressing down on the connector and gently pulling the wire out the back. This leaves us with the 4 wires we need in the correct slots.<\/p>\n

Next we attach female dupont connectors with double housing<\/a> to the other ends of the wires. One double connector goes on the blue \/ green pair, and another on the white \/ orange pair of wires. I used a PA-09 crimping tool from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>\"\" (affiliate link) to make the attachments.<\/p>\n

When plugging into the NodeMCU the connections are
