I've just become acquainted with the SchmartBoard products, and they are a real advance in prototyping and using SMT products in design work.. Am also looking at the Arduino and the new PIC32 boards as a new playground for development work....

Please put me in the drawing for the bare boards.. I have a few PIC mcus that need a project.. just like this..

-regards..

I have used a number of SchmartBoard products; very handy since so many parts are readily available as SMT. Great for breadboarding small parts and fine pitch ICs!
