“These pins have been a revelation and make mounting carrier boards like ESP32 or Pico a breeze.
I have used them so far on pre-designed FlexyPin adapter boards but can see how easy it is to produce my own custom one.
They are a bit fiddly to insert and line up but it becomes easier with practice.”
“Given 5 stars. I know they are quite expensive, However, when I received them I only got 94 in the pack. I contacted customer service to let them know and they just sent out another batch without any questions or me asking, hence the 5 stars. I did count the second batch and there were only 99 in it. I can't complain as I got more than what I paid for anyway, So win-win.”
“Previous order pack had 103 pins, recent order only 94 pins (ouch). For something relatively pricey (but undoubtedly useful) I would have thought 'at least 100 by weight'.”
“FlexiPins are tiny and designed to be used with FlexiPin adapters such as the Pico to Uno adapter which mounts a Pico on an Uno footprint boards. You need tweezers or forceps, an illuminated magnifying glass and, if possible, a circuit board holder to locate them in the board before soldering. Instructions are sketchy. For example, the FlexiPin YouTube video shows a board with one pin hole and a slot, while the Uno board has two holes on either side of a slot.”
