Tool/software:
I am a newbie and trying to learn how the chips work so I can eventually move on to designing my own PCB. Since I am a hobbyist, I have opted to try and build this on a breadboard using a QFN to through-hole breakout board. The breakout board takes a qfn chip and exposes the 32 pins in a a traditional through-hole package.
am getting closer to a working end to end implementation despite having ruined 12 chips so far in the learning process. I would love to continue down this path but want to make sure that I am not wasting my time, and money, on something that might never work due to high tolerances. I have managed to get I2C working fine, OTG working fine, and various other features but not charging.
I may end up ordering the BQ25723EVM but have held off since it does not seem as valuable in the learning process. Should I abandon my current approach and switch to the evaluation module?
