Read More…Turn your Espruino Pico (Espruino.com - Javascript for Things) into a 4" by 4" protoboard playground!
This board provides pads for the most popular surface-mount packages, broken out to rows of 0.1" pin header for ease of connection. Each pin goes to two or three holes, so making multiple connections to a pin is no problem. At the top, a row of 8 pads that can take either an SOT-23-6 part (such as the MAX1555 LiPo charger IC, or some small EEPROMs), or the 5050 package commonly used for RGB-LEDs, including the WS2812/B. On the back of the board, these pins go to pads for three SOIC-16 packages (you can put two SOIC-8's next to each other too). To the right of that are two banks of pads for SOT-23 MOSFETs. Each bank of 4 fets is connected to a common source, and pads are provided for a resistor between source and gate. A barrel jack, and optionally voltage regulators (in SOT-223 and SOIC-23-5 package) can be added to supply power.
The popular ESP8266 wifi module can be easily used with the pads in the lower right corner. These are for the Wi7-7 and Wi7-12 package (from Electrodragon and others), and pads are provided for a capacitor across the power supply, since these seem to need it (of course, you can use the Wi7C-1 with the 8 pins in the through-hole prototyping area). These pads have the same spacing as used in the HopeRF RF transceiver modules and many others. The spacing is also the same as used in 1W RGB/RGBW LEDs. While the LED would rapidly overheat at full power, this might be useful at a lower duty cycle, or for brief flashes. In this case, the SOT-89 pads on the underside can be used for AMC7135 current regulators for the LEDs.
All through-holes are plated.
This shows one of my projects using one of these boards, demonstrating the versatility of this prototyping board. Actual assembly of the hardware went very fast - it was almost negligible compared to the time spent writing the software. With all these devices, there's still plenty of room left on the board - I could have added another '2812 LED, and several more IC's in (T)SSOP, SOIC, or DIP.
On the top, you can see the Pico itself, a WIZNet Wiz550io module (keypad and cover are mounted to that), 4-button keypad, and a BMP180 temp+humidity sensor. A TCS34723 color sensor is mounted on the DFN pads in the middle, with an 0603 cap used for bypassing (barely visible in picture - they're tiny!). The two LEDs are WS2812B leds, to control 6 status lights with 1 Espruino pin. The light is conveyed to the top of the cover using Sparkfun's flexible light pipe.
On the bottom, you can see a prototype RF controller board (may be offered for sale in future) that offloads the task of listening to 433mhz RF to an external ATtiny841, and communicates with the Espruino over serial, as well as a TSSOP-8 AT24-series I2C EEPROM, and lots of wiring; the traces running down the middle at the bottom are I2C SDA and SCL. The two unoccupied headers are for an EasyVR 3.0 voice recognition board.

International orders have been suffering long delays due to COVID-19 - please check your country at https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/ and make sure that I can ship to you, and that you are okay with any delays. There may be additional information available from your national postal service. Some customers have reported packages being delayed in transit by over a month. We cannot offer any sort of guarantees regarding international shipments at this time; we apologize for the inconvenience, and are looking into shipping internationally through UPS.
Please be sure that the address given to Tindie is accurate, and includes your street name and number - company name is only required if shipping to a commercial address. International orders require a valid phone number.
Domestic packages that go more than 1 week without a tracking update will be presumed lost in the mail and refunded or reshipped as buyer prefers. Any international packages can be delayed in customs without warning for 2 weeks or more. After 1 month without a tracking event (2 months to South and Central America - insane delays in those nations are commonplace), we will reship or refund a missing order (as you prefer). COVID-19 update: Some countries have stopped processing incoming international mail entirely -we will cancel orders to countries which we know are not processing international mail at all. This may also cause longer than usual shipping times - we are not responsible for such delays.
We do not open inquiries through the postal service - experience has shown this to be futile.
We ship all orders via USPS. UPS will be added as an option in the near future, I hope. We do all shipping through Stamps.com, and they offer me UPS, but all addresses are rejected as invalid, and I have emailed support numerous times and have had zero response. So at present, we cannot entertain requests to ship through other carriers.
