#41069 - Makin PCB for Surface Mounted(off topic) |
Hi all,
I am contructing a USB/8051 project which uses Phillip's PDIUSBD12 chip to interface. The problem is that it is a SMD(they no longer sell the DIL version) which for me, as an amateur creates alot of problem. I have no experience with SMD's - is it at all possible for an amateur? What equipment do I have to use? If not, is there some other way to solve this problem? (Yes, this is off topic. Anyone know any forum/mailinglist where posting general electronic questions is ok? Couldn't another forum be created at this site? It sure would be appreciated and the traffic is quite good IMHO.) cheers! Frans |
