The CANADUINO ZIF Socket Programming Shield V2 is an Arduino Uno R3 shield that moves the ATmega328P from the Uno board to a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) socket. It lets you program blank chips quickly and remove them without bending leads. With its ICSP header it can also work as a programmer with a USBtinyISP, no Arduino board required.
Key Features
- ZIF socket for ATmega328 / ATmega328P chips
- Fits Arduino Uno R3 or compatible boards like any shield
- 16 MHz crystal for the controller
- ICSP header; usable with a USBtinyISP without an Arduino
- Long stackable shield headers
- Cutouts keep the Uno's onboard LEDs visible

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shield actually do?
It simply relocates the Uno's ATmega328P to a ZIF socket so chips can be swapped quickly without damage.
Does it come assembled?
The listing describes the parts provided (socket, headers, crystal, ICSP header and other parts) but does not say whether it is pre-assembled.
