I did write to ST microelectronics support engineers, but for no avail. I did not receive any reply from them. We had ordered the part from Digikey. The datasheet showed that the pin no 1 for the SO-8 package will be identified by half circle notch but, the part i had ordered didn’t have any […]
But for hobbyists and students who want to order parts for their projects in small quantities, this $40 shipping charge is going to be disappointing. If you are thinking of ordering components from Digikey to India in small quantities, and don’t want to incur this heavy shipping charge, Then consider ordering your parts from the […]
Then soon we were in a dilemma whether to go with this 2G only modules like SIM900,SIM800,GL865 or not. If we designed our product using a 2G module then the product would be useless when there are no more 2G networks functioning. So, there was this option, where we could always go with a 3G module like SIM5320 or […]
