As someone who only wants to occasionally perform one-off firmware flashes on my devices, soldering always felt clumsy and heavy-weight.
For actual chips, SPI programmer clips have been great. For test pads, I just ordered one of these [1], which will hopefully work just a well.

- spfzero 4y agoTAG-Connect makes a nice one of these. I use their target footprint on all my MCU projects now. The guide holes and pins make it easy to hold with one hand and know it will stay put as you initiate the programming with your other hand.
- mmoskal 4y agoI've been using a do-it-yourself connector [0] (aka Hack Connect) for my own boards - it stays in the board by itself. Interesting the link you posted - it seems 2x5p 1.27mm version with one pin cut would work as the pogo version of Hack Connect.
