The MicroMag3 measures the strength of a magnetic field in three axes (north-south, east-west and up-down). It can be used as a magnetic compass and inclinometer. by Jim Rowe
Our new PIC Programming Adaptor, described last month, can program many chips in DIP, SOIC, MSOP, SSOP and TSSOP packages. But SMD micros come in other packages, including SOT-23-6 and QFPs (quad flat packs). This article explains how to program such devices out-of-circuit with several reconfigurable programming jigs. by Nicholas Vinen
This small, low-cost adaptor lets you program most newer PIC microcontrollers out-of-circuit. It works in conjunction with a PICkit or SNAP in-circuit programmer and provides five different modes to suit a range of chips from eight to 40 pins. It can even be used with SMD chips in SOIC, SSOP or TSSOP packages. by Nicholas Vinen
