Making a GPS breakout board by etching some stripboard

  • I try something I've never tried before - etching stripboard/perfboard/veroboard in ferric chloride etchant.
    The idea was to create a breakout board for a Quectel L80 GPS module (based on the MediaTek MT3339 chip). This module has a 0.1in (2.54mm) pin pitch, which is rare for recent GPS modules. Most have 2mm or even finer pin spacing. This module's pin pitch is a good match for common 0.1in stripboard.
    I run into all sorts of dramas with cold, weak etchant that over-etched in places while under-etching in others. But a second attempt yielded an acceptable result. All's well that ends well.
    Would I use this technique again? Probably not. But it was an experiment worth trying.

    Hello Luc, any thoughts on the Quectel L80. How do you pull info out of the device? Longitude Latitude without a raspberry, Have a little project to work with any info would be great.
