From the project
PCB design using KiCad for a 64-pin TQFP breadboard vaguely shaped like an igloo
PCB design to adapt a 64-pin TQFP part to a standard solderless breadboard.
Many modern chips are only available in surface-mount packages. Some have the audacity to have 64 pins, and not only that, pins on all four sides. How can we make such a heinous package fit onto a standard solderless breadboard?
This PCB design mounts the SMD part on a vertical board that plugs into a second board that fits on the breadboard. The vertical board has a rounded top, reminiscent of an igloo, hence the name.
