I'm curious how you guys feel about using SOIC chips instead of the traditional DIP. Yes they are a bit more difficult to solder up and don't have a socket for easy replacement. I was wanting to add additional chips and a 10 position DIP switch to the FP mini design. However there is just not enough room. I may be able to squeeze them in but it would be very tight and fear there may be no room for traces. -- Don Caprio ilv...@gmail.com |
