I'd like to present a reasonably flexible and inexpensive breakout board concept for 8-pin, 14-pin, and 20-pin PIC devices which, for the most part, share a common pin placement and common pin names. The breakout board features an ICSP header (all these devices use the same pins for ICSP programming) and a couple rows of single inline machined pin sockets to breakout the PIC I/O pins. The machined pin sockets allow the use of inexpensive solid conductor wire for connection between the...
