Basic kludges: 5 minute SOIC-DIP adapter
Here’s a quick way to how to adapt an SOIC surface mount chip to replace a through-hole part. You can do this with stuff on your bench: a DIP IC socket, a few wires, and a wood scrap. Beautiful? Heck no. (More like slimy but satisfying.) But finding a way to get your circuit board […]
Versatile SOIC PIC programming header
Mick found a versatile SOIC PIC programming header: A small PCB allows for the out-of-circuit programming of 18 & 28 pin SOIC PIC Microcontrollers from either an ICSP programmer or ZIF socket. Thanks Mick! Via the forum.
