Are the pins hard to fit if the square goes in first?

I tried one row, needs a bit more of a push as expected. Still pretty easy.. just aligning all 4 to the socket when inserting the booster is the hardest part.rubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 9:11 am Are the pins hard to fit if the square goes in first?

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
What type of pins should I test with?
Basically I made one with the exact measurements you gave and printed on "high quality" and it fits really well ... but if I can test myself before sending to you I might be able to iterate the design somewhat

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
Looking nice! I am not sure what the pins are, I think they are 1mm pitch.. Maybe Best if I post you a few strips ?

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
I'll try to source some locally The pitch is 1.27mm?
https://www.mouser.se/ProductDetail/3M- ... x4uxl14%3d
If so I can get headers from here when driving home from work: https://www.electrokit.com/stiftlist-1-27mm-1x40p.51493
Bought a good caliper today to check what accuracy I got from the printer. 24.35x24.40 (from 24.40 in the CAD model). I'm happy with that ...

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
I believe so yes.
Is pretty good!

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
New PCB arrived a couple days ago. If I ever get five seconds piece, might actually get to build this up some point!

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
I bought a few 1.27mm headers but I must confess that they fit just as "badly" IMHO with or without the dummy CPU. Of course, I don't really know what a "good fit" should be like ... maybe I should just send you a dummy?

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
When you insert the pins, the socket tabs get pushed out a fraction.. the square should at least partly stop that from happening..

Re: STE V1.5 32MHz BOOSTER - STATUS
New DualTOS prototype boards arrived..
These are similar to previous versions, but I've done away with the socket and made the board a fraction smaller. Boards also include UBE circuit, but not important for current booster work.. now to find time to build and test...
