Programming an enormous DIP(Dual In Package) chip is fairly easy. Pop it into a socketed programmer, burn, and return to the appliance circuit.
Things get harder with smaller (surface mount) chips. There are not any standard sockets for QFN, SSOP, QFP, or maybe the big SOIC .300 packages. There are really expensive ($100s) clips that may attach to, and program, these chips. for every chip type and pin count you utilize you need a unique clip.
ICSP is that the alternative ICSP means 'in-circuit serial programming. it's the way of programming a PIC while it's still attached to the appliance circuit. no more chip swapping.
PIC ICSP gives you a convenient way of programming PIC Micros without removing the chip from the event or production board. In fact, it's the sole way to program PIC microcontrollers so you'll find the ICSP interface on all devices.
There are not any programming sockets for little package chips. Clips are expensive.
Its a pain to maneuver chips in & out of the programmer during development.
It’s impossible for surface mount parts to be removed and placed on the commonly used programmers.
Removing an IC from boards usually comes with the danger of breaking the IC Legs of breaking it.
If you're taking this course now, you'll calculate these leads to just a couple of hours!
Program any Microcontroller while on board.
Stop removing ICs from boards to Program them.

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.
In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.
I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
