Pretty clever! ---------- Wagner Lipnharski writes: Years ago I had a necessity to build an automatic gang programmer. Simply as it could be, the design can be seen at http://www.ustr.net/electronics/roda.jpg where a gravity feed system would position chips into slots that could reach contacts to provide programming / verification. The scape area would select chips based on previous tests. A simply stepper motor controls the rotation of the device, that of course would require some safety implementations. The same design could double as a chip tester, of course. One could elaborate on that, and who knows?
