This week on the Great Search, we're following up on our Metro RP2350 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/11/11/metro-rp2350-now-with-bigger-better-rp2350b) design we showed off last week.
One thing we designed in is plenty of space around the NOR Flash chip (https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/09/29/the-great-search-spi-nor-flash-memory-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit/) and PSRAM so that we can clip on a debugging probe.
But what is a SOIC debugging probe? These 8-probes-in-one-clamp are a brilliant solution when debugging or for in-circuit-programming. When looking for one, we'll want to make sure that it can grab onto 0.3" wide SOICs, not just 0.15" wide.
