I connect the ICSP port on the PCB to the ICSP pins of the controller directly. The Pins in turn go to the rest of your circuitry via resistors so that you do not need programming jumpers to perform...
Yup, confirmed. I removed headers from BOM and CPL and those 2 fees went away, as well as an extra $3 or so for cost of headers about $13 + tax reduction).
Yup, first thing I do is match all components on JLC's inventory for a given footprint and input price, JLC part # and Manufacturer part # in my symbol editor (Kicad), as well as if it's a Basic part...
From my experience, the chips that were in stock by JLC were double or triple the price from Mouser. The others that were not in stock were cheaper...!
