Hand Wiring No-Lead Chips

Robert Dew did some amazing tack-soldering on the bottom of a No-Lead chip to make a simple break-out board without any special PCBs. He says it took a lot of trial and error and flux. The chip is an accelerometer. Robert made the break-out board for the EE senior design class and electronics lab at GaTech.

CuriousInventor launched in late 2006 (pre-arduino era!) as a place to enable hobbyists, students, and musicians to create their own technology. We sold open-source kits and tools, and offered numerous guides & videos on things like soldering, metal working, screws, electronics, and more. 

The store is now mostly empty, but we’ve kept the product pages and guides up since they have useful information. Many of our guides and videos still rank on the first page of google searches and have been seen millions of times.
