Quoted from swampfire:Why isn’t this thread on fire? Seems outrageous that SAM boards can still be found, but these Spike boards are rare and so crazy expensive....
Because it's old news basically.
Node boards suck and some are expensive and people are going to get dicked over by them is basically what was accepted day 1.
Quoted from PinMonk:And if you have the right equipment, they can still be repaired in some cases much cheaper than buying a new one.
Fair point. They aren't as easy to deal with as older boards but perhaps we'll just be forced to learn more SMT tricks and repair.
I ASSume PCBs will only be getting smaller in the future.
Quoted from tbutler6:... Expect to see node boards availible for a long time though due to the mass numbers of JP for instance.
Yes but the issue is they are not always backward compatible. SO what's good for JP2 isn;t for GOT
