Pogo pins make life so much easier when you are trying to program without having to solder a single thing, and when you attach them to an In-system programming (ISP) adapter, they become instantly better. This simple kit allows you to do just that. The ISP Pogo Adapter is a simple and easy way to adapt pogo pins to a 6-pin ISP header, allowing you to program an IC without soldering a header.
We've also included a labeled SIP header row and 10 6in. M/M jumper wires allowing you to use your Arduino (or other single-board microcontroller) as an ISP device!
This adapter comes as a kit, and assembly will be required.
Includes:
Revision Change: With this revised version the Molex 6-pin cable was switched out for M/M jumper wires.

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ISP
-
In electronics, ISP usually means In-System Programming, a way to load firmware onto a microcontroller while it stays on the board (often via an ICSP header), or an Image Signal Processor, hardware that turns raw camera sensor data into usable images and offloads the main CPU. The surrounding context shows which meaning applies.
- microcontroller
-
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PCB
-
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
