ATMEGA2560 breakout board?

Projects General Guidance
1

I'm lookinhg for a breakout board for a ATMEGA2560 that fits on a breadboard and doesn't have anything but the chip on it - no crystal especially. Does such a thing exist? I couldn't find any on Google that didn't have a crystal.

EDIT: @CrossRoads boards would be great, but they have crystals...

I've been looking at getting some produced as there doesn't seem to be any available, just awfully expensive.

A soldering iron will remove a crystal :wink: .

But are the crystal pins broken out?

If not, how do I add my own without trying to solder SMD?

I want to play around with the crystal values a bit.

PS: My soldering iron isn't that posh. :weary::unamused:

The crystals are seen here, BTW, ~ $20.00

Website says: "It requires expert soldering skills", so not using that till I update my soldering iron!!

Yeah, they have an EZ solder version but it's $10. Even those need a fairly good soldering rig.
