Thot:
VEERY basic question here:How do you connect flimsy wires, such as for instance those coming out of a piezo element like this: Piezo Element - SEN-10293 - SparkFun Electronics
so that they make a secure connection with the Arduino I/O pins (or with a solderless breadboard, for that matter) suitable, if need be, for a permanent Arduino device?
Solder the leg from a LED or resistor to the end of the flimsy wire.
(I save snipped-off LED legs for this...)
