I’m new in gyro and Arduino and I only know that we can connect a sensor breakout which has header pins to an Arduino by using a breadboard, but how could I connect a sensor which does not have header pins to an Arduino.
The info about this mems gyro is in this URL: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9447
I would be grateful for your reply!
Hello Zhisheng Lin,
The easiest answer is a lot of time, patience, and very thin wire. Typically SMD components have PCBs designed for them and then they are connected to other components. We have [SMD to DIP adapter blank PCB boards, but they don’t have the pin layout you’ll need for that IC.
You’ll most likely need to create a custom PCB. We have some tutorials that may help this process:
I sincerely hope this helps point you in the right direction.](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pcb-basics?_ga=2.240847749.746112717.1581956734-2114068872.1578439588)](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/designing-pcbs-advanced-smd)](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/designing-pcbs-smd-footprints?_ga=2.78448146.746112717.1581956734-2114068872.1578439588)](https://www.sparkfun.com/search/results?term=dip+adapter)
Like Brandon said the easiest way to connect to this chip would be to use an adapter. Here’s one available from DigiKey ([part # PA0103-ND) You will also probably want [solder paste, an applicator (toothpick or sewing needle can work…, and a hot air gun or toaster oven capable of melting the solder.](https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/chip-quik-inc/SMD291AX/SMD291AX-ND/1160002)](https://www.digikey.com/products/en?mpart=PA0103&v=315)
