Adding 433Mhz Radio to SOIC8 Boards

[David Lyon]

Hi all,

The SOIC8 Tab is all that we currently have for hacking. But I found that it can easily be extended with non-SOIC8 parts.

What I did here was:

 - take two SOIC8 Tabs
 

 - line up the pins from the radio module holes over the tab

 - drill new holes in the pcb to match the radio modules

 - use hot-melt glue and stick the radio module to the pcb. This

   also adds some extra filler that keeps the two pcbs apart.

 - wire the pins appropriately on the underside.

Regards

David
