This is my PicIt 3. As you can see, I've attached a ribbon cable to it to make it easier to connect to my circuits. All of my circuits have a single file 5-pin 0.100" pitch standard header for this purpose.
Ribbon cable connectors are all made for double file headers. So what I did is solder the individual cables in pairs as shown.
The problem is that such arrangement is a fragile one. And the cable's soldered joints tend to break over time with normal use.
Does anyone here knows a better way or technique to connect the programmer to a custom circuit?
