What is it?

It is a pogo adapter for ISP programming. It is sold as a kit and requires soldering, but we have instructions here and it's pretty quick and easy.

Why did you make it?

We wanted to be able to program a board with a surface mount programming header footprint. These tend to have more space between the two sides than the typical 0.1" through-hole headers, so we made one with a 0.3" space between pins 1, 3, 5 and the opposing pins 2, 4, 6.

What makes it special?

This is super useful for when you want to program a board with a surface mount ISP header footprint, but don't want to actually populate the connector. There are lots of reasons for not wanting to populate the SMT ISP connector - cost, the fact that it's bulky and protrudes, parts shortages, etc! This pogo kit makes it possible to leave the connector off, but still program an AVR processor by touching the pogos to the footprint on your board.

There are 2 versions of this board. There is a version that interfaces with a 6-pin header and version that interfaces with a 10-pin header. We tried to make is as easy as possible to solder by extending the pads around the pogos, so you can get at them from the side. There are two boards with mounting hardware to space them apart - this makes the pogos more stable and straight. The board is small but easy to hold, and there is a notch in the corner to indicate where pin 1 is.
