EEVBlog #186 Soldering Tutorial Part 3. Prototyping boards

[pablofg]

Hi there,

Can someone help me to find a place where I can buy those nice prototyping boards that you can see on the 3rd part of this fantastic tutorial.

I'm doing a small project with a SMD PIC16F877A microcontroller in a 44-Pin TQFP packages and a Flash Eprom 29F800.

Any help will be apreciated.

Cheers.

Doubt they'll ever get any back in.

Hey! it's Dave himself. Thanks for info to everybody. I'll contact seeedstudio to see if they are planning having them again.

I'll post my findings.

Wow! That proto is VERY expensive.

I found this guy in ebay selling them:

and some sites have them out of stock at a very similar price. What's the trick in those boards?

I think I can manage with one of this $10 protos: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/qfp-surface-mount-protoboard-080mm-050mm-p-1360.html?cPath=44_46
