I cannot count how many PCBs I did with various quick connect ideas to have a fast way to debug..

- Chop a PCI connector and have edge fingers on the PCB

- Skedd connectors

- Micro usb with a toggle switch or solder blob to switch between SWD/UART or USB

- Low profile usb-c and have D+/- as normal, and RX/TX over the accessory pins (like audio)

- Pogo pin clips

- GH1.25 connectors

- Tag-connect meh

- If thickness of pcb allows, your PCB can plug directly into a USB-A port (Thicc pcb) or if its too thin, it can plug into a male usb-c connector from a charger cable(might bend some pins though)

etc. etc.

So just like the author, anything but Dupont connectors ;)

How did the skedd connectors work out? I assume Wuerth redfit? I'm looking at ordering some to try them.

They are ok, put them into production for around 250units. Was very excited about them, but plugging and unplugging is not as graceful, and sometimes you stab yourself with their sharp pins. I'm going back to mounting a usb-c connector on the pcb me thinks.
