FlexyPin

FlexyPin is a connector pin designed to be used with castellated modules with pitch down to 1.27mm.

It allows for easy insertion and removal of modules without the need for soldering.

FlexyPin works great for flashing/testing jigs and other use-cases where castellated modules are involved.

You can get a Pack of 100 FlexyPins from our Lectronz store: https://lectronz.com/products/flexypin-pack-of-100

KiCad footprints

You can generate footprints with custom number of pins and pitch using the generate_footprints.py script, run it with --help to learn how.

Use the generate_lib.sh script to generate the FlexyPin.pretty library with footprints for 1-40 pins with pitches 1.27mm, 1.50mm, 2.00mm, and 2.54mm.
