CANADUINO ZIF Socket Programming Shield for Arduino V2 means no more fiddling around with bent leads and DIP sockets!
You are using your Arduino UNO board to program blank chips for use on breadboards or in other circuits? Always trying to remove the chip without bending the leads?
Here comes the solution for your programming needs:
This little board just hooks up like any other shield to your Arduino Uno R3 (or compatible) and gives you the liberty of inserting and removing your Atmega328P chips without wear, bending legs or breaking the socket.
The shield does not do anything else than move your Atmega328P-PU* from the UNO board to the ZIF socket. Extremely convenient for programming multiple chips in a short time, or to flash a program and then move the chip to a breadboard.
CANADUINO ZIF Socket Programming Shield for Arduino V2 comes with an ICSP header and long, stackable leads. It can be used as an ICSP programmer in combination with an USBtinyISP as well - no Arduino board required.
The ZIF socket adapter also has cutouts to make the Arduino UNO onboard LEDs visible.
Extra long, stackable headers with signal names printed on both sides are optionally available HERE .
