I'm using a SOTC test clip wired up to connect to my PIC programmer (see photo below) and this seems to work well to program SMD PICs off board (as long as I'm careful not to bend the leads). Can I use this to reprogram the SMD PIC when its soldered in place on the PCB? I'm not sure if the clip will make a good enough connection once the PIC is soldered down, and I'm not sure once my other components are also soldered in whether that will affect the ability to reprogram the chip.
This is the schematic for my board - a typical 0.1uF cap between +5V & GND pins with series resistors & LEDs.
