You have to mill at least the outline of your board anyway, a little more is trivial.

- durkie 10y agoyeah, it just seems like if it were really optimized for smt, they would have milled the back side of the CHIP and placed the flash et al components in there so that you wouldn't have to find the extra real estate on your own board.
- Scaevolus 10y agoIf you were really optimizing for cost, you wouldn't have a $16 monolithic board in the middle with extra components you don't need. Compared to that, the extra cost of milling the board you're placing it on is minimal.
