Anyone thought about doing LARGE surface mount as a way to keep bread boarding cost down? 1206 are REALLY not hard to solder. Neither are any of the SO... IC packages. And if you have an existing stock of through hole parts, you can always just bend the pins under or out and solder them down. Probably not going to happen, but I'd be interested in SMT bread boarding systems... Not much available in that area. --- James Newton, massmind.org Knowledge Archiver james@massmind.org 1-619-652-0593 fax:1-208-279-8767 All the engineering secrets worth knowing: http://techref.massmind.org What do YOU know? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
