Adapters / Breakout boards

Now I can play with some of the INA high side current sensors. The solder pads on the bottom allow to jumper each pin to Vcc, GND or leave it floating - as needed. There's also room for two capacitors. It is really a shame that it takes 3 weeks for airmail to get to me from the US of A. I blame customs for that. I wonder why they don't employ more staff and speed things up. There must be a system behind that.

I have a couple of PT4115 LED drivers in the mail. This adapter will allow me to prototype on breadboard / perfboard without too much trouble as far as soldering is concerned.

LT1618 boost converter finally mounted on a DIP adapter. Prototyping can begin.

Thermal pad included. It's a bit small, but it's there ;-)

I think I need some, but can't find affordable ones. So I'm inclined to have some made, so the price per board gets really cheap (less than 50¢). First side: MSOP10, second side: TSSOP8 This is just in the planning phase and production may take a few weeks. You've been warned. Interested ? Drop me a message !

MakePCB have taken their time - as usual. Excellent quality though and affordable. Luckily the panels are scored. Otherwise I'd have payed for quite expensive coasters.

Got this one for free. At least I don't remember ordering or paying for it ;-)

Maybe useful as well. Maybe...

I have a couple of these chips, both in SMD and DIP. Quite often I shy away from playing with them due to the 'hassle' of setting them up. Maybe this will help a bit. The boards are just 32x32mm

Yesterday I built the little Halloween project and today I get these in the mail... The SMD components are just for show, and there seems to be an issue with the pot's silkscreen. Maybe I had a different type in mind when I made the board? The boards were made by IteadStudio.com - it took the usual 2 weeks, half of that was the transfer and customs delay. I ordered 10 boards and got 12. All are usable as it seems.
