Re: Exxos will like this colour of Switch Lite :)
They are spectacularly tiny, and very easy to miss!! Maybe not so easy to miss with the tweezers though? ;) :hide: Quite... Strictly speaking I pushed the M92T36 IC to check it was floating, changed position and nudged a whole heap of stuff off with the IC. Then I managed to make it worse with the ...

Mostly, but there are some that 'might' be resistors and are so damn tiny I'm not 100% sure what they are.

Re: XC95144XL & XC95288XL obsolete
I almost never buy from larger places like RS, Farnell, Digi-Key and Mouser because for the small numbers I buy, it is truly extortionate what they charge for delivery. I usually make an order of just above 50€ (without VAT) to get free shipping. For small stuff where I'm ok-ish with made in China,...

Re: Exxos will like this colour of Switch Lite :)

That's bloody annoying.stephen_usher wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:19 pm Got down to my Dad's house in Cornwall this evening and found the broadband dead.
After about 45 minutes on the phone the BT it seems that there's a general BT Openreach outage in the area. Oh well, having to use my phone as a 4G relay.
