- -
+The DEDBUG FLEX boards are supplemental modules that attach to the DEDBUG Protoboard, extending its capabilities. By soldering a FLEX board onto the DEDBUG prototyping area, users gain a dense array of pads for the chosen component size, enabling rapid assembly and testing of circuits that require many small SMD parts. -DEDBUG FLEX +### Features -The DEDBUG FLEX boards accompany the DEDBUG Protoboard. The aim of the DEDBUG FLEX boards is to provide additional functionality to the Protoboard by soldering them to the prototyping area. The six boards are 12x12 pad grids of which the left column terminates to an edge connector that can be bridged with the cross-shaped pads on the Protoboard. The current six DEDBUG FLEX grids are 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210-sized. \ No newline at end of file +- Designed to be soldered onto the DEDBUG Protoboard, adding dedicated pad arrays without redesigning the base board. +- Each FLEX board provides a 12x12 matrix of pads, offering a uniform footprint for component placement. +- The leftmost column of pads terminates at an edge connector that aligns with the Protoboard's cross-shaped pads, ensuring reliable electrical connection. +- Six distinct boards are available, covering common SMD dimensions: 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210. +- Enables rapid prototyping of large numbers of identical components, useful for testing high-density designs or batch assembly. +- All FLEX boards are engineered to fit the existing DEDBUG Protoboard layout, requiring no additional hardware modifications. +- Users can combine multiple FLEX boards on a single Protoboard to accommodate mixed-size component layouts. + +### Funding + +This project received funding through [NGI0 Entrust](https://nlnet.nl/entrust), a fund established by [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl) with financial support from the European Commission's [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu) program.
