In preparation for selling PC boards for the electronic leadscrew, I’m putting together a bed-of-nails (POGO pin) test fixture so I can test the boards without soldering on connectors. I show how I aligned the pins and got them all to the same height to mesh properly with the board under test.
I tried a few different kinds of solder and flux before finding a combination that worked properly.
