What wires to use

[Alto2]

Hello!
I was looking to build the Pigrr Zero (https://learn.adafruit.com/pigrrl-zero/pitft-to-pi-zero), but the kit I found only includes 30 awg wire. The guide also mentions 26 awg, but I’m not sure if I’ll need it.
Thanks

The guide uses the 26AWG wire for power, which makes sense. You tend to use heavier wire for power than you do for low power signals. I would get some for wiring the power as the guide does.

Yes, but the kit only includes 30 awg wire. Is it ok to use that for the rest, or should I just use 26 all around?

For everything but power, 30AWG is fine (and is what I use pretty exclusively). You can always use 2 or 3 pieces of 30AWG in parallel if you don't have the thicker wire, but you'd only need that for the power related part of the project.
