How did that happen?I have smoked at least three STM32F407 at $10 each so far. And it is a pain to unsolder a 100-pin LQFP chip every time.
Thanks for the encouragement BillSmoking chips is a part of learning. If you have never destroyed a component accidentally, you are probably doing it wrong. We learn more from our mistakes than our successes.
Yes lucky they are cheap. and hope you don't smoke STM32F407 as many as I did.MC34063 are like $0.60 apiece. It's not like blowing a more expensive component.

Yes, totally agreeThe important thing is to learn from it.
I feel better now, thanks for sharing.My first job I took out a $10K AC power synthesizer that could mimic any AC power source in the world for several hundred watts. ... ...
i would agree to this also...Thanks for the encouragement Bill
Yes I did learn from it: disconnect the power supply before replacing components on a breadboard.Did you learn anything from it?"
So, chalk it up to a learning experience and try not to make the same mistake again.
