Whilst the chip is on order I decided I would need to make a break out board for prototyping. The chip is a SMD so I will need to mount it to something so I can plug it into a breadboard for testing.
I’ve never used any PCB Design software before and people seemed to be using Eagle to do the design work. So I grabbed the freeware version and a tutorial and had a play. It became quickly apparent I would need a library for the ISM SMD. Following this helpful tutorial at Instructables.com I prepared the following library for the Inventek ISD300 SMD :
