Bodge of the week

Today's mail bestowed upon me a precious Maxim part (you may well gasp), a DS1077 to be particular.  A programmable oscillator for use on an I2C bus.  I'm hoping to use this chip in a new PCB design I'm working on and so I wanted to get some results before Monday.  Hmm, that means there's no time to order a breakout board (lack of foresight while I was purchasing said IC).  Dang,what is one to do?

Then I remembered :)

Bodge(TM)*

In a hurry to complete a project?
Too impatient to wait for the postman?
Too much of a tight-wad to buy a proper solution?
...

Then why not try a Bodge?

Yes, Bodge is a quick and cheap alternative to doing things properly!  Eager to risk frying a relatively difficult to obtain Maxim part by hamfistedly prodding away at it for half an hour with pliers, tin snips and a cheap soldering iron?  Then Bodge is for you!!

No more pacing up and down the workshop waiting for a properly designed and manufactured breakout board to arrive, which would no doubt have cost almost as much as the chip itself!!!  No, just dive in and solder on a bunch of random wires to it and just assume everything will go according to plan!!!!

A Bodge representative is in your area now!!!!!

Hey, take a look at this demonstration!!!!!!


*Terms and conditions apply.  Bodge should not be used in automotive, industrial, life-support, aerospace, military or marine applications.  Bodge should not be used by the elderly, the infirm or the pregnant.  Bodge is probably not really a trademark as far as I know.  It would be awesome if it was though.  Availability: dwindling.  My hovercraft is full of eels.
