Down and dirty way to use a SMD PIC with a DIP programmer?

[mister_e]

Would it also work on the clothes line?? :-)

Sure a bit expensive but could work. You know, i use some obsolete or 'too old' PIC on my pin board now... so why not using a test clip on a clothes line

3M do good one, but there's few other brand. Look digikey catalog or local supplier. I really like this method and, as i said, i use it daily to read/write from/to radio EEPROM when there's no testpoint on the PCB OR when the design do not permit to clip over them to read/write to them.
