Poor man's piggyback ISP

thingiverse

Use this quick print adapter to connect male Dupont pins to a DIP-packaged IC's pins on the fly. Meant for in-system-programming (ISP) AVR microcontrollers, but surely there are other uses, e.g. in-circuit testing with logic analyzers etc. Comes in versions for 8, 14, 16, 20 and 28 pin DIP packages. Write in the comments or send me a message if you need others. **Usage: ** Simply clip it on top of your PCB mounted IC and push in your Dupont connectors wires where you need them. You'll need a tiny bit of force, as the adapter is designed to firmly press the contacts against each other. That's why I don't recommend using plain jumper wires, they are often too feeble and will slide out of their housing. _Important_: Be careful upon removal of the adapter, or you might remove the IC with it (and bend its legs etc.). Best use a wedge shaped tool like pincers and gently push it in between the top of the IC and the adapter, working from both ends until it pops off.
