Got one on my prototype. This will work perfectly. Soldering those things on is a right bitch by hand - you need to get under an overhang to get to the pins. My normal iron is useless there, I have to use the mini one. It will be just perfect, though, for these little project boxes I got. I'll have OSH make me a board that I can solder the pico down to (with the end with the connector hanging off), and the box is the perfect size for a little 2x1.5" PCB, which should be just about what I'd expect to need for the basics, plus either a display or a battery. I've got one of the color digole serial displays coming that I will of course add driver and demo pics when I get it.
I got a crapload of little project boxes scavenging the corpse of radioshack (90% off, 35 cents a box on sunday. Came back last night, no more project boxes,but it was now $40 / liqour box of stuff.... Selection was limited ofc by now, but I got all the good stuff that was left. $1600 at sticker price (they had to ring it all up!) for $40.
