I could see a wrist-mounted breadboard for prototyping wearables. Jam in a battery and a few SOIC breakouts plus some patch leads, hack up a quick firmware to test out an idea, kind of thing.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoI'm not seeing it. The device package sizes are often smaller than even the pin spacing on a breadboard. We generally start with a manufacturer dev board to write the firmware while the hardware is being designed and then manufactured at a prototype shop. The problem with trying to make "breakouts" on packages so small is that they are extremely fragile (if you can even solder to them by hand!) and the poor signal integrity of flying blue wires can often be enough to make the hardware completely unusable.
