Thanks for the feedback!
I might look into using pogo pins instead for the connector. That eliminates the pressure, but then requires a separate mechanical force to keep the parts in place.
Besides the header/pins, there are also currently magnets.
I went with C for the SDK because I wanted maximum compatibility/portability.
You can still use C++ (I tested it, works 100% fine), and I'm currently exploring Rust bindings! https://docs.pocketbyte.co/rust https://docs.pocketbyte.co/rust

Here's the general category page, in Digi-Key: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-connectors/spring-loaded/408 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-conne...
- omrawaley 2mo agoOh I think I've seen these on a couple Chinese handhelds. Currently the device uses a JST connector, but I'll definitely take a look at this. Thanks!
- dlcarrier 2mo agoI meant instead of the pogo pins, but if you do have a custom shell, then it is also a more convenient way to connect the battery, too.
