    My surface mount switches have arrived.

    I ordered them on the 23rd of November last.



    Even more amazing, they fit the footprint I created for them.

    Possibly.

    Now I've got to write the frigging software.

    Every cloud & all that.

    HTH.

    I discovered some of the leaded ones in the stores last week.

    My predeceased predecessor must have ordered a shedload in.

      Let's hope you don't have any dry joints. Despite being a lizard.

                  How does anyone do electronics anymore? Tried mending a Psion 3 back in about 1997 and failed due to lack of dexterity. One needs x50 vision, a 0.1mm soldering iron and manual precision to match.
