Our homebrew ICSP programming header didn't quite work out as planned.
We're not sure why, but we just couldn't get PICKit2 to recognise the device held under the programming header - maybe the pins aren't quite making contact, or perhaps they're routing to the wrong programming pins (we checked and double-checked the connections before making the PCB though!)
It all seems a bit convoluted anyway and if we're going to have to program a few SMT/SOIC PIC chips in place, we'll need something a bit more robust than a wonky home-made board, so we found this:

It'll take a day or two to arrive (Farnell are usually pretty good with delivery times, but recently we've had a few orders split into two or more parts, and they don't always all arrive on the same day!) but we've other stuff to be getting on with in the meantime....
