Hi,
Just about to solder my first smd PIC onto a pcb. Wondering whether it should be pre-programmed before soldering it to the board. That way when power first applied to cct (via ICSP) either it or other chips connected to it won't be damaged due to possibly incorrect states on i/o pins.
Necessary or not?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
