All, I want to use an FT232BM for my (hobbyist) project. But, I really really don't fancy my chances of being able to solder the LQFP package with my soldering iron, and also this package isn't very helpful for prototyping on a breadboard. Does anyone know of a supplier who either:- - makes an equivalent chip in a larger package - provides FT232's presoldered on an adaptor pcb (say with legs that match DIL32 or something)? or does anyone else have any ideas of how I can use this chip without investing in expensive SM soldering equipment?
