3dprinted guide for the STLink IDC cable

I found this little gadget useful when connecting the STLink cable.
Nothing fancy, but 3d-model (.stl file) is attached if you’d like to make one yourself.

This is a nice find!! Thanks for sharing with the community :smiley:
It looks like this will make it easier to know which direction to insert!

Haha, you can actually turn the whole thing the wrong way around -so it doesn’t help to get the direction right (room for improvement?).

But, provided you have the guide properly oriented, at least you get the pins/sockets correctly aligned.

New improved version :slight_smile: Not fool-proof. It’s still possible to turn the guide the wrong way around, but now you can easily tell, since it will protude over the processor (see picture). More importantly (I think) is that the guide helps you align the connector with the pins.
