The only catch? You’ll need an interposer to set up an Ai Pin for use with OpenPin. You can either buy one or make your own.
Even more junk for landfill, to salvage a device that is inherently quite useless. It’s good to keep the original hardware running but it’s a shame this requires more hardware.
The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. You can build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case. It doesn’t sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.

From the bom it seems it’s just a micro usb to pogo pin converter, no chip mentioned, so the pin has an usb port, but pogo pin form…
