I haven't populated the board yet but I'm imagining it will have it's challenges. I'll let you know how it goes.
if i ever do one i was thinking about getting one of thoughs things that makes it go from small to the normal size so it would be easy to solder it.
Trevor,
What little device do you mean?
If it makes it easier to solder, I'm in.

Is there any other alternative for my stepper driven gauges that anyone else has used?
Like these... http://www.futurlec.com/SockPLCC.shtml

The IO picture shows that the BTP_A_IN is 00-07 but there 72-79 like David said! Would be nice to get this picture fixed for others lol i spent awhile trying to get my throttle going and it wouldnt work didnt know if it was the code or what so i started looking in here and it was the CID that was wrong. I was putting in 7 and it wouldnt work so i tried 79 and it works. O and not sure if i ever told you guys butmy name is Trevor LOL
Thanks,
Trevor
Hey Trevor,
Yes, I picked your name up a while ago on another thread.
The RID's here had me stumped for a while too.
Thanks for the links. Looking at the sockets, wouldn't they be just as difficult to solder in (not the through board ones)?
The board would have to be modified to suit the through board configuration. I did have a quick look at the possibility of redesigning the board with the standard ATmega168 with the DIP 'through board' configuration. May still have a go at it yet.

when able i try to make my own PCBs and that way i can make them how i want them to be. So yeah you might be able to take the lay out of it and change it up some. Just seems like it wouldnt be as hard to solder it if the holes are farther away from each other. Just looking at the Controller just seems like the holes are really close to each other and would be harder to solder vs the sockets i showed you.
Just an idea,
Trevor
Hi guys,
that is my Stepper testboard. I dislike SMD on PCB´s, they i don´t know.
That is the reason, why i build that.

O so the ATMEGA168 is two shapes not just one. Never mind yeah this shouldnt be that hard to do. in fact it should be the easiest PCB to do. So is that the ATMEGA168-20PU instead of the ATMEGA168-20AU?
Yes the ATMEGA168-20PU is easy to use.
But attention, you have to rework the pinning from the controller. You need the function of the pin not the number.
