Need some help from the hive mind, please gang? Does anyone recognize this connector system? 2mm pitch, with these red clips, that can be placed as a unique keying system (aka TPA - "terminal positioning assurance") . Any suggestions on a MFG / something compatible would be greatly appreciated!

in my defence, I naively assumed this would be a lot easier to put into pictures than it was. also, totally unrelated, if you want to crash a background remover, throw a Klein bottle, or some other non-orientable surface at it.

this feels akin to how AI is being pushed into the Hardware market. like, ok, that might, but it's really, really not very good, and also, it's a really stupid way to do it.

My android iPod amoled project hit a major milestone! We can repurpose one of the best selling smart phones of all times (Galaxy S4) and connect it to a different display now! The only thing “iPod” about this right now is the front plate but I’ll have a prototype in shell soon.
