[Cyborg] Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Re: March Digikey Bulk Order

[Lamont Lucas]

Please add one more to the order for me, and I'll work with you on 
surface mounting the thing.  I have a hot-air rework station that will 
be useful for undoing whatever we mess up.  I've used a toaster oven for 
SMT reflow, but I'd like to do this with a regular hot-plate, as I think 
that method is superior.

We'll need to either order an adapter PCB for the PLLC-20 (aka LPCC-20), 
or make a custom one.  The board I have from sparkfun for the Honeywell 
HMC1052L is a 4 pin-per-side 16-pin-LLC.  I'm capable of designing and 
ordering the adapter board, but I wouldn't get a chance to do it till 
tuesday night at the earliest, and I'm out of town for a week starting 
friday.

This solderless socket might help with the prototyping:

That 1052L chip, by the way, I spent the weekend trying to use.  Unlike 
the HMC5843, the HMC1052L requires a 400 mA pulse for 2 uS to clear out 
any lingering magnetic fields, which requires an h-bridge or at least a 
totem-configured pair of FETs.  I started wiring it up, but after I've 
added an h-bridge chip, 2 capacitors, two resistors etc, the resulting 
cost and bulk make me think that I should have just started with the $19 
5843, rather than "saving" via the $8.50 1052L.

That BUB board looks nice, although I'm still super happy with my FTDI 
cable, just for compactness's sake.
