Am thinking about making this circuit using SMT:
Automotive Voltage Indicator - RED - Page115
Yesterday I found this cheat sheet for selecting surface-mount components:
http://www.hamradio.cc/electronics/SMD_lookup/smd_lookup.php
So I know to look for which surface-mounted devices. Then must
peruse their datsheets for allowable voltages, currents, how much power
they can handle, etc.
I already know to only use 1206 0805 and 0603 packages for passives,
if I want to hand-solder.
Obviously, I must breadboard the circuit using these new components
before routing the board. So my question is What tools do I need to get for breadboarding circuits using SMT? Not just this circuit, but ones with IC's too.
