Thank you, Joachim.</p>https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/Sun, 08 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/<figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="auto" alt="20150307_212637" width="1024" height="576" src="https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/images/20150307_2126371_hu_d13dcfaea5dfc1de.jpg" srcset="https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/images/20150307_2126371_hu_d13dcfaea5dfc1de.jpg 800w, https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/images/20150307_2126371.jpg 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 65vw" data-zoom-src="https://soldernerd.com/posts/inductance-meter-pcb-goes-to-india/images/20150307_2126371.jpg"></figure> <p>In a recent post I&rsquo;ve offered a free PCB on a first-come first-served basis. I&rsquo;ll be happy to mail the board together with some components to Mumbai, India tomorrow. It goes to Parth Sane, a student, homebrewer and soon-to-be ham radio operator.</p>https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/Sun, 15 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/<figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="auto" alt="_MG_1211" width="2214" height="1476" src="https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/images/mg_1211_hu_cabbf1d8088cd228.jpg" srcset="https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/images/mg_1211_hu_cabbf1d8088cd228.jpg 800w, https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/images/mg_1211_hu_63b81fc5af677bef.jpg 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 65vw" data-zoom-src="https://soldernerd.com/posts/free-inductance-meter-pcb-first-come-first-served/images/mg_1211.jpg"></figure> <p>When I made the PCB for the stand-alone inductance meter, I erroneously used a SSOP footprint for the microcontroller (instead of the desired SOIC). The PIC is available in a SSOP package (PIC16F1963-I/SS instead of PIC16F1936-I/SO) but I didn&rsquo;t have any at hand so I simply made a new board with a SOIC footprint.</p>
