Nous A1 gen1 flashing jig

prusaprinters

<p>I need to flash several <a href="https://templates.blakadder.com/nous_A1.html">Nous A1 smart plugs with Tasmota</a> (as sold until roughly the end of 2021) to enhance the energy monitoring in my home. Tuya convert wasn't reliable for me, and I got sick of soldering on leads for my flashing adapter, so I whipped up a quick handheld jig to utilize some <i>P100-E2</i> pogo pins instead.&nbsp;</p><p>You might have to drill out the pin holes with a 1.4mm drill after printing (not a typo, gave a snug fit). Insert the pins, solder on leads to attach to a USB-to-serial adapter, secure everything with a bit of hot glue and you should be read to go. Contrary to me I suggest to wait until the glue really is dry to avoid CA glue on your fingers ;)&nbsp;</p><p>To flash, open the <strong>unplugged </strong>plug, place the pins on the pads and hold the jig with your thumb while flashing and provisioning as needed.&nbsp;</p><p>Designed in FreeCAD Link Branch 20220709, .fcstd file included.</p><p>Please note that Nous has changed their plug design, it now opens from the front with a triangular screw and the board layout has completely changed with no visible flash pads. You might be better served with another plug, or with buying their version that comes pre-flashed with Tasmota. It's a shame really.</p>
