there's a lot of applications where standard is more useful than custom, so size is a feature. costumes for example.

- Kirby64 2y agoI'd think for custom MCUs integrated into something like costumes (or jewlery), that you'd look for smaller sizing. No need for a 'DIP' style package. You go castellated designs, or something where you solder wires to the pins directly. Much more compact. Saves you the time of doing PCB design, but still off-the-shelf enough.
- metadat 2y agoWhat does 'DIP' stand for?
- Kirby64 2y ago“Dual in-line package” which is the style of plastic packaging with two rows of pins intended for through hole PCB usage. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_in-line_package https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_in-line_package
- metadat 2y agoAh, so it is related to a DIP switch. Thanks!
