Hi, has anyone tried programming the SO type PICs with the Picstart Plus ? Is there some kind of adapter already available ? I need to program a few PIC16F628-04I/SO. Should I simply solder small wires to the strategic pins of the 628 parts and lock them in to the Picstart's ZIF socket ? If this is ok what pins should I extend besides VSS, VDD, MCLR, RB6, RB7 ? regards, ____________________________________________ Tobie Horswill toho@toho.cjb.net -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
