Just got an announcement from SchmartBoard about this neat little module:
www.schmartboard.com/index.asp?page=products_populated&id=205

You have to supply a QFP Propeller and solder it on yourself, but not to worry -- the whole point of SchmartBoards is this cool technology that makes soldering surface-mount parts possible for just about anyone.

(I have no connection to Schmarboard except as an occasional customer.)

    Cool! This would be fun to play with. I always wanted to try a Schmartboard. Looks like this is my chance. Thanks mpark.

    SchmartBoard EZ makes Surface Mount soldering a breeze. I've used them for 2 years. They are expensive, but what is the price of failure?
