Really? No break-out board for this one? I hand made the last set I needed but now I just don't feel like all that work and just want to buy some. C'mon guys, we're talkin' 2 resistors and a hole in the middle for a 4-40 bolt! You should really offer one. Alas, I guess I'll make some... I suppose I can just do it with a Sharpie instead of all the photoreactive stuff. --Pretty simple PCB. But still, it would have been nice just to get them pre-made.
