Post by thread:[OT]:cheap 4MB compact flash

Hi- How about: "4 Meg Flash The good news is that these are cheap. Atmel, AT49F040-12TI, 32 pin, plastic thin small outline package(TSOP). 4-megabit, 512Kx8, flash memory. 120ns. Look it up on Atmel's site. Hang on to your hat, here comes the price. Pack of 10. ICS1012.............Pack of 10.............$10.00 " at BGMicro: http://www.bgmicro.com/lmad3.htm David dwheeler wrote: > Anyone still goofing 'round with compact flash interfaces might be > interested in > http://www.package2you.com > There's a 4MB compact flash card listed at $2.99 ea. > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: > [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

Unfortunately those are NOT the easiest to solder (at least for a hobbiest).

I find they solder quite easily IF you pay attention to what you're doing and have a half-decent PCB and iron. A magnifier is handy too -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics

What I do is flood a line of pins with solder and then use the soldering iron to draw off the excess. Works well if you're quick. -- Best regards Tony mICros http://www.bubblesoftonline.com salesKILLspambubblesoftonline.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

I've done two "hobbiest" projects recently that used 256kB of memory, granted one didn't use flash but still...

What I meant was it's a big step up from a flashing LED. "Hobbyist" doesn't tell you where on the beginner-advanced scale someone is. Amateur-professional doesn't either. You could be much more experienced and knowledgeable about a hobby than your real job. You can change your job easier than your passion -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics

I know a guy that thinks he invented that method. He even named it after himself. Although "his" method has a sligh variation. He first floods the pins with water soluble(sp?) flux (he swears by a certain brand of this stuff, I forget the brand, but Digikey carries it). I never had the heart to tell him that it works with regular flux too. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
