I have now contacted Cybdyn Systems through their JIRA Service Desk (because you can't just send them an e-mail...), we'll see if they respond. Sadly, I won't post an update to the project today, since the school homework deadline is dangerously approaching. I might post one tomorrow, depends on if I finish the homework early or not (there's a good chance that I will, though).

However, I am considering redesigning the bottom part of the connector – especially the "tabs" on both sides, turns out that was a terrible idea that would never work. I might just join the two parts with screws or small rubber bands, not sure on which one I'll choose yet (I am leaning towards using screws, since that might actually be easier, more precise and also look more professional).

So, that's all I have for today. Sorry about the disappointing post, but I promise that the next one is going to finally contain some progress (bottom part redesign, top part design, joining both parts together, making more pins etc.). Maybe Cybdyn Systems will answer me at that point? 😁

But even if they do, I will probably still continue making my own connector (mainly because I don't think that shipping from Australia to Europe is going to be feasible for a single connector).
