Solderless Particle Photon Case

thingiverse

I highly recommend checking out the solderless photon board by mhson - it's a game-changer! I took it to the next level by adding a custom cover that not only protects the board but also gives you a clear view of the LED and easy access to the buttons, plus an opening for the USB cord. To top it off, I added an embossed-like logo on the bottom that adds a touch of class. The genius behind this design is that you simply stick wire into the side of the board, and then the chip headers come down from the top, meeting in the middle where they're held tight by friction. The key to making it work seamlessly is to experiment with different wire sizes until you find one that fits snugly past the header on your chip (I personally use a Particle photon). Alternatively, try inserting the wires first and then gently pressing the chip down - when done correctly, it should hold them in place securely.
