Hi,

Is anybody has experience on SMD sized PICs used as a hobbyist / small
production? Couple of questions pop into my mind:

- There is no socket or whatever, so how do you program it without ICSP?

- I could not find any info on the program memory types, so are they OTP or
Flash or anything else?

- What tool do you recommend for dealing with SMD stuff (small production as
10 maybe 15 a month with 5-10 parts on the board so I would need a bit
cheaper ones no matter if it takes more time or more expensive to build
with)

- Is there any place in Ireland or UK where I have a chance to buy
copper-clad boards that are not as thick (the standard is 1.6mm I think and
I was thinking of having as thin as possible as the size will be really
small -- the lighter is better

Thanks
Tamas
