I needed to 'burn' some SMT devices, but didn't have an adaptor to suit. These are fairly expensive and I couldn't justify the cost. To get around the problem, I bought a SMT test probe. This just clips onto the SMT device in a piggyback fashion. I then soldered the neccessary wires from the clip terminals to a Dual In Line header which plugs into the programmer socket. You can then program the device in the normal way. Regards Tony Just when I thought I knew it all, I learned that I didn't.
