Joel, you could mount the si570 upside down. Check my pictures on the www.phonestack.com/farhan/minima.html. The pins are as widely spaced as a dip. Soldering shouldn't be a problem at all. - f Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel -----Original Message----- From: Joel Caulkins <caulktel@xxxxxxxxx> Sender: minima-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 16:49:30 To: Minima Group<minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [minima] Si570 board Hi, Just wondering if anybody knows where I could get a small brake out board to solder my Si570 chip to. Most who use the PCBs won't need this, but those of us that are building Manhattan style would benefit. Joel Caulkins KB6QVI
