pogo pin ideas #26

just saw your latest video introducing the pogo pins and two things came to mind:

• maybe it would help to move the pogo pins nearer to the center of rotation instead of ‘far’ out on the side of the carriage. this would minimize the relative movement of the track and the pins to each other.

• instead of the tracks being on the front and top sides they could be on the left and right sides so that they can be even closer to the center of the carriage. this would also minimize the distance between the pogo pins.

combining both ideas could allow mounting the pins somewhere inside the carriage which would make them even invisible. maybe the pins could be mounted to both sides of a small pcb that can be clipped into the carriage center between the upright and the arm. this would also eliminate the cable.
