There are services around to get custom PCBs cheaply. The component will also be rather cheap. Remember components are expendable - don't try to avoid soldering your microcontroller just because you'll need a new one if it doesn't work - instead, just get 10. | |
| Sep 12, 2017 at 4:10 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | Note the "shape" is called a package. The square ones are surface-mount packages (TQFP to be specific), they're much cheaper and easier for machines to solder. The big rectangle one is a through-hole package, specifically a DIP. | |
