I'm starting to use SMD chips, so I am learning Eagle - circuit wizard doesn't support SMD components.
Of course I could just use un-named DIL chips, but as there are so many chips in the library, I was wondering if anyone has created a PICAXE chip with labled pins that can be downloaded.
Thanks,
Andrew
By the way - does anyone re-use SMD PICAXE chips? I know it is possible to desolder SMD chips, but is it practical? Or is an SMD PCB permanent? With my through-hole PCBs I use sockets, thus the PICAXE's are reusable.
