Hi

I am trying to use mbed in a stripboard project. I have the socket that are with round holes. The square pins of mbed doesn't fit in them. I am also reluctant to solder mbed directly to the board.

What sockets are you using for mbed projects?

From Farnell, although I would recommend a good search, Samtech ? Have a new range in farnell, but I cannot find.

Also cool components, sparkfun, mcu store, s.k. pang etc

Carry such items, to name a few.

Hope this helps,

Ceri

Thanks!

For a quick test, I ended up spliting apart a normal 40-pin socket. Not elegant but worked. Will explore the other options later!
