Hello everyone!
Since the pinout on the board is for the no-legs version of the Tag Connect, you have to hold it manually while debugging. For simply flashing, that’s okay, but if you plan on having a longer debug session, it’s a bit limiting since I only have two hands.

So, any suggestions for how to keep it in place? Outside of the obvious like gluing, taping, etc. (And even if I hope for better alternatives, what would be the best way to tape it?)

Thanks!

There are TC2030-CLIPs. The pain is then the feather board because the “Tag Connect field” is too close to the pin headers 14,15, and 16. In the meantime I prepared two feathers leaving out these pin-headers (and don’t use them for vital peripheries :-) ).

    For a longer session, I use the clip and recommended by @AchimKraus but only use one of the legs. That way it can be retained enough.

    Also a member of the community made a holder that clips into the top of the board and holds the TC in place. I’ll see if I can find the STL.

      Thanks much! I ended up ordering the CLIP – since I might end up using them for future projects.

      Otherwise, not a bad idea with the holder :-)

        The Tag Connect TC2030/TC2050 clips work quite well. However, I really wish there was a mini SWD 10-pin connector on the nRF9160 Feather.

        Perhaps @jaredwolff can add one in the next iteration of the nRF91 Feather that uses the new nRF9161 or the mini SIP nRF9131.

        I noticed that Nordic’s upcoming nRF9131-EK has a SWD 10-pin connector and a 6-pin TC2030.

        I use the TC2050-CLIP-3PACK retaining clips with the Nordic nRF52840 dongles but have mini SWD connectors soldered onto a few of the dongles. Much more convenient!
