Programming/test jigs for W01 and G01
-
I will soon be wanting some programming/test jigs for these two chips. Anyone have any tips for doing this well? Is someone already selling them? Would someone be interested in crafting some for a reasonable price?

@BetterAuto
Fair enough. I can't add anything to this other than being mindful of power and also providing a dummy load for the antenna.
We elected to have programming pins on the pcb we can use - though it means the W01 must be soldered in first of course.
I would be interested in hearing how it works for you. Sounds interesting.
Kind regards - Richard

@RichardTXD Program and test as part of assembly. I'm doing my breadboarding with the WiPy 2.0.
I think what I will do is use some small pitch spring contacts mounted in a 3D printed jig with walls to keep it centered. Print some screw bosses for a pair of small arms that can be levered over the top to hold it down. That should provide positive contact while being programmed.

Hi, what is your intention please?
Do you just want to test and program the modules before mounting them on an end-product or something like that?
Or, is it like me (I've got W01), you want to breadboard and develop your application before committing to a full circuit?
There is a reference design board available from Pycom. I presume this doesn't suit your need.
Kind regards - Richard
