Did not read the small print.

I thought I would get a pyboard and the small D-series, being the only one currently available, was purchased without too much thought. But when I received it I got a bit of a shock as I did not realise those pin holes were so blooming small. It looks just fine in the pictures. I've just ordered the rather large WBUS-DIP68 so I least I can use it, though maybe not for its original intended purpose.
I do think some warning should be given on the shop so that unsuspecting older hobby types with 'old eyes' are fully forewarned (and warned in big print
). What with the extra board I had to purchase, and the fact I not be able to use it for my original purpose makes it a rather expensive purchase. But hey ho, I hope the money goes to recompense in some small way for the free use of micropython that I have been using for a couple of years now on ESP boards (and latterly the rip pico). I wonder if those original pyboards will be back in stock at some time, I do hope so.
