I got the 0.8+0.5mm xQFP protoboard from the Free PCB drawer. Since I wanted to get a PICkit3 for a while, this looked like a perfect fit. So I looked up the schematics, ordered what I needed, and started work.
It took longer than expected, and in the end I had just one silly mistake costing me about two months looking for it (just two swapped wires:( I did write a complete description of the while PICkit3 clone project, including more images and the complete schematic I used in the end.
So, what about the protoboard? After all, this was not just a prototype but a real, complete project.
If you build a free PCB we’ll send you another one! Blog about it, post a picture on Flicker, whatever – we’ll send you a coupon code for the free PCB drawer.
