For folks that do electronics and/or hardware hacking, firmware extraction, and similar, what's the name of the device that has the pins that you can position and screw down to connect to test pads to extract firmware?
I'm trying to reflash the firmware on an Empora Vue 3 that had a bad install of esphome causing it to go AWOL. I had no issues before and I cannot remember how I did it (I think I 3d printed a jig but I cannot find it).

I 3D printed a BDM Frame (something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/177795556850) and used the probes with pogo pins on, but every time I breath on the frame, the pins jump off their pads. There's no good solid way to keep them in place. I'm close to just soldering on some wires, but if there's a better options. I'm all ears.
