When I called them out on it and linked them to USPS documentation showing they were BS'ing me, they just stopped replying.

Must be the extra handling necessary for you Canadians... lol

Personally, I buy most of my carpc stuff from Chris at mo-co-so. He's really flexible with shipping and has no problem getting on the phone with you to answer questions, choose a different shipper (even if not available on his website), etc. It's too bad he doesn't carry much (if anything) in the way of sensors for FB.

Also, to the OP. They do have the 3pin with wire, just cut off the other end. http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2169

That is who I just ordered my screens off of.. Mp3Car lost out on that order because they tried to gouge me on my small order.

Ahh. I saw that and thought it would probably work, but I was able to get the singles for quite a bit less. I can just cut them in half and then just solder the bare ends to my final cable. I agree with mp3cars prices being ridiculous. The photosensors for the brain are $14.99 that's highway robbery (let alone what shipping would be). I ordered 5 of them for $1 a price of adafruit.com. I just hooked them up and they work just fine (well as soon as I dug up 10k ohm resisters

). Now to figure out how to get if then's working..

Edit: Got the if then's working. The UI makes things realllly nice.
