Mare writes: Murata produces LoRa module CMWX1ZZABZ-xxx based on SX1276 transceiver and STM32L072CZ microcontroller. The soldering of the LGA module is not very hobby-friendly. I constructed small breakout PCB for this module with additional buck/boost switcher and place for SMA connector. The transceiver features the LoRa®long-range modem, providing ultra-long-range spread spectrum communication and high interference […]

Designing a USB breakout board
Alexander Lang has been working on a USB breakout board, he writes: I often need to intercept USB signals for decoding and measurement purposes. I cut a cable apart last time I needed one but to be honest I much prefer doing things properly. I also noticed that nobody seems to sell a similar product […]
Tiny ESP8266 Breakout Board
Stavros made a very small ESP8266 breakout board: A very small breakout for the ESP8266. Includes all necessary pullups/pulldowns for it to boot to your code, a LDO regulator, a 3V3 output pin and enough breadboard space for one row on each side on a standard breadboard. Full details on Github. Boards DirtyPCB order link here.
More Energy monitoring – ATM90E26 Breakout
A Breakout board for the ATMEL E9026 Energy monitor from Whatnicklife: What is it? ATM90E26 breakout for AC energy monitoring. It allows development of code and applications conveniently. Why did you make it? I wanted to test various energy monitor ASIC’s. I have already made an ADE7763 Breakout, I wanted to try the ATM90E26 for comparison and […]
Quick PCB: TCXO Breakout
Dan Watson has published a new build: There are some good, inexpensive TCXO modules on eBay that come in the slightly unusual package shown above. This breakout board allows you to mount one of the modules onto the small PCB and adapt it to standard 0.1″ breadboard-compatible headers. I have also included a few optional […]
ATtiny10 Mini Breakout Board
Dan Watson has designed this very tiny breakout board for the Atmel ATtiny10. He wrote a post on his blog detailing its assembly: This breakout board is for the ATtiny10 microcontroller. The PCB is 0.25×0.325″ and uses 0.050″ header pins. The board could actually be made smaller, but I ran into the minimum PCB size […]
Fobble, a general purpose wireless breakout board
Ken Boak has been working on a general purpose wireless breakout board – Fobble: As can be seen from the above picture it contains a number of key features: A resident RFduino Bluetooth Low Energy Module with ARM Cortex M0 processor 2 layer pcb 50 x 50 mm format- with extended Arduino headers pin-out An X-Bee footprint […]
Building a breakout board for a TI TMP708
Carl from Hackshed.co.uk writes: Steve recently ordered several Texas Instruments TMP708 temperature switches. What he failed to realise however, is that the chips come in an SOT package which is tiny. After laughing at him for quite a while, I offered to build him a breakout board for the chips. Here are the steps I took […]
VGA framegrabbing with TVP7002
desaster blogged about his VGA framegrabber project: The project got a nice boost when I found TVP7002 on TI’s site. It’s a video digitizing chip, featuring 3x ADC (one for each color channel) and a PLL system for generating the pixel clock from the HSYNC input. Compared to alternatives, this seemed to be quite nicely priced, and […]
Simple 0.96″ 128×64 OLED breakout board
noahp shared his breakout for 0.96″ 128×64 OLED display in the project log forum: Thought I’d share this design here in case it can be of use to anyone. Includes python script that initializes and loads data to the ssd1306 (please excuse the logo pandering, needed a simple example and that was right in front of […]
POTONG6 – Potentiometer & Slide switch breakout
Mats shared his Potentiometer & Slide switch breakout -POTONG6 in the project log forum: This is just a small utility board that I added to a previous batch of PCBs. Nothing fancy at all. :-) Sometimes I need a pot or two when I test a design on a solderless breadboard and it’s always a PITA […]
Tiny breakout board for 24LC512 EEPROM and MCP9802 temp sensor
Raj I recently designed this tiny breakout board for Microchip’s 24LC512 EEPROM and MCP9802 temperature sensor devices, both of which support I2C protocol. This single board can be used for both sensing the ambient temperature and storing it. You can view the circuit diagram and get more details on Raj’s Tindie project at EmbeddedLab. Via […]
