I forget this all too often in my enthusiasm to make something.
I think you should give SMD a try. The QFN AVR's are really very small. On soldering, you first tin the pads for the IC, then apply some flux and use hot air to solder the IC. The surface tension of the tin will pull the IC to its correct position. There are lots of youtube videos about how to solder SMDs. If you want to order custom PCBs,you can oder them from China, they are cheap. -- Best regards, Atommann ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Amforth-devel mailing list for http://amforth.sf.net/ Amforth-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amforth-devel
