For a large selection of surface mount prototyping boards, see: http://microcontrollershop.com/default.php?cPath=3D455 and some cheaper QFP and TSOP ones in http://microcontrollershop.com/default.php?cPath=3D301_52 The later are surface mount to DIP pin converters, but could be used=20 for prototyping as well regards Volker > > I am starting to do designs with various surface mount parts... but of > > course need to do some prototyping from time to time. > > > > I'd like to find a source for some 'breakout' or 'header' boards so I > > can solder say a SOIC or a TQFP to a circuit board and bring it out to > > more usable pins.
