To test his LCD launchpad booster packs, Robg improvised some DIY test connections. Using slightly larger than standard male headers and some rubber-bands, he is able to make solder-less contact between the Launchpad and his LCD booster pack.

I think this is the best idea I ever seen since the offsetting of odd pins on a SIL trace on Arduino board :D
Genius! I’ll be using this as soon as I buy an ARM devboard :D
Thank you! :D
Soon after I made that video, I switched to stackable headers because they are longer and more flexible than regular headers and also because TI started using male headers on their LPs.
Believe it or not, I am still using the same LP with the same pair of stackable headers (rubber bands had to be changed few weeks ago.) I used it to test hundreds of boards.
