I just created a new project & PCB that uses a Attiny85-20su which is a 8SOIC package.
I can't seem to find a good way to program a 8SOIC sized IC... the only possible option I could find and it's one of those clamps that clip on to a 8SOIC but I've never heard good things about them. They seem to be very unreliable.
Unless someone knows of an effective method to program these I think my only other option is to program them after soldering them to the PCB... but it seems that it could be tricky the program the Attiny after its in circuit.
My idea is to add the necessary traces to the appropriate pins to solder pads and to solder the Attiny first to the PCB and program it before adding any other components to the PCB...
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated
