So handy for when you need to probe an I2C, SPI or QSPI connection - or burn firmware to a chip without desoldering. The...

This accessory for the Bus Pirate 5 makes it trivial to program bare flash memory chips without clips or soldering. SOP8 150mil and 208mil are the most common and inexpensive flash packages at the moment.
