How much force?

Post by rayhayes »

I'm working with the custom boards that were released for the Pico and the pins don't seem to easily fit. How much force should it take to get the pins to fit into the board? I'm using quite a bit and so far no luck.

Seating 20 pins at once can require substantial force - particularly on a new breadboard. You can reduce the required force somewhat by angling the header slightly so that one end goes in before the other.
