[This model](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6144997) has been designed by a third party but is confirmed to work with the AIOC. +__Note__ It is unfortunately quite common that the TRS connectors have intermittent contact after soldering the ring or tip tabs. In this case, it helps to re-melt the solder joint, then using e.g. tweezer slightly assert some sideways force onto the contact and let the solder joint solidify **while applying the pressure on the contact**. This will keep some tension on the area where the tab internally connects to the barrel and thus give a solid (spring loaded) connection. + ## How To Build For building the firmware, clone the repository and initialize the submodules. Create an empty workspace with the STM32CubeIDE and import the project. - ``git clone ``
